Travel Process
Before Travel
An approved Concur Travel Request is REQUIRED for all university-related travel outside the state: 14-days prior to domestic and 30-days prior to international travel. After your Travel Request is approved - utilize Concur Travel, the University’s online travel booking system administered by our travel agency Collegiate Travel Planners (CTP), to book travel. Travel can also be booked directly with CTP as needed.
During Travel
While traveling - utilizing your KU/KUCR P-Card will allow you to avoid paying out-of-pocket for allowable items like airport parking, hotel and Uber/taxi to & from the hotel/airport. Use the Concur Mobile app to capture and submit receipt images while on the go for timely processing. P-card receipts must be submitted within 5 days of purchase.
After Travel
IMPORTANT: Travelers are NOT to create their own reimbursement Expensing Reports in Concur. After trip completion - please submit your travel expense info to your SSC or travel processor within 15 days of your return. They will create a Concur Expense Report for you using your E-Receipts, any additional receipts, and trip documentation you submit to them. Out-of-pocket receipts MUST be submitted no later than 60 days after returning so the reimbursement can be processed without being taxable income.
