Review & Submit a Travel Request Created for you by a Delegate

Overview

As needed, Travel Requests can be created for an employee traveler by a Request Delegate or SSC, LSI, or IPSR support staff. However, the traveler must review trip data entered, perform any acknowledgements, and Submit their own Travel Request in the Concur system.

A departmental Request Delegate must be set up by the individual employee traveler in order for the delegate to Act As the employee traveler to create their Travel Request. Please note, Request Delegates should only be set up if it is that individual's job duty to assist with Travel Request creation.

This guide walks employee travelers through how to open up, review, acknowledge, and Submit their Concur Travel Requests.

Travel Request Policy

Out-of-State & International travel must have an approved Travel Request(TR) completed in Concur before making travel arrangements. Employees must complete TRs no later than 14-days before domestic and 30-days before international travel.
A TR is not needed when traveling in-state, or when traveling to a border city if there is no overnight stay.
