Towson University business travelers are reminded that University System of Maryland Travel Policy requires that all business travel be documented and out-of-state travel be pre-approved. See {http://www.usmd.edu/Leadership/BoardOfRegents/Bylaws/SectionVIII/VIII1100.html}. Towson University?s Business Travel Policy further clarifies the USM policy by requiring that a properly approved Travel Authorization Form be on file in Financial Services prior to departure for any business travel, in state or out-of-state, requiring overnight stays.
Requests for reimbursement are processed only if a properly approved Travel Authorization Form is on file and the document was signed by the Authorized Budget Signature, the University Budget Office (if cost of trip exceeds $1000) and Financial Services prior to date of departure. Travel reimbursement requests that do not meet this requirement are returned to the traveler unprocessed.
Should you have any questions about this policy, or business travel in general, please contact the Financial Services Help Line, x4-5959 or {finservehelp@towson.edu}
