Travel and Reimbursement Policy
State statutes require the Board of Regents to establish policies related to travel and miscellaneous expense reimbursement. The term "Travel" is defined as an absence from the campus during normal work schedules for the purpose of conducting University business. All travel authorizations must be approved in advance and are governed by the procedures outlined in the Travel Guidelines and Reimbursement Procedures.
Authority
The President of the University of Nebraska has delegated his statutory authority, 81-1175, to approve travel authorizations, to the Chancellor. In turn, the Chancellor is delegating authority according to the following:
| Delegated Authority to Approve | Authorized Official |
|---|---|
| Domestic Travel | Dean, Director or Designee |
| Domestic travel with no expense to University | Dean, Director or Designee |
| All foreign travel wherever a passport is required | Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance |
| Travel by privately owned aircraft piloted by staff member | Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance or Designee |
| Travel by chartered aircraft | Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance or Designee |
Expense Reimbursement
Travel expenses are reimbursed based upon actual costs and should reflect the greatest advantage to the University and to the staff member in terms of time and money. Each college, institute or division may implement policies and procedures that are more restrictive than those adopted by the University. Please consult the appropriate administrative office for specific details. The Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry reimbursement policies are found in the Guidelines and Quick Reference for Travel Reimbursement and Required Receipts.
