ASU Student Travel Advisor Brown Bag Workshop Series
Steps to Student Travel • Plan Ahead • Required Paperwork • Keeping Track
Plan Ahead • Apply for SOLF funding through the Center for Student Involvement • Maintain communication with students regarding paperwork and deadlines • Contact the Travel Office prior for help with quotes and planning prior to your trip • Submit all required paperwork in a timely manner • When airfare is involved, lower fares are usually available two-three weeks in advance
Required Paperwork • SOLF Application • Travel Authorization Request Form (TAR) • Advisor Memo (if not traveling with students) • Student/Group Travel Form (copy to UPD) • Student/Group Travel List (copy to UPD & TAR) • Student Activity Release Form (each student) • Student Travel Expense Report (due within 15 days of return)
Keeping Track • Keep ALL Receipts • Hotel • Meals (if not signing for meal $ each day) • Registration • Gas (when not claiming mileage) • Incidentals (baggage fees, parking, tolls, taxi/shuttle service, entry fees, etc.) • Every penny of the travel advance must be accounted for • Unused funds must be re-deposited into appropriate account • Excess spending will require budget approval for reimbursement
Planning Tips • Know your students & maintain good contact • Be aware of the groups’ travel plans • Contact the Travel Office prior to travel for help with quotes and planning • Plan trip budget as accurately as possible • Be timely with all steps of paperwork
Things to be Aware of • Advance checks are made payable in advisor’s name only • Every penny of the advance must be accounted for • Make arrangements to pick the check up and disperse $$$ to students prior to departure • Ultimately it is the advisor’s responsibility to ensure that funds are accounted for • One employee can be included in the travel advance; additional employees must file separate TARs to be reimbursed after the trip.
