Poly Travel
Cal Poly has implemented Concur Travel and Expense as our new travel management system. Concur must be used by all state employees traveling on university business, including CPC funded travel.
Concur is a comprehensive web based tool that integrates travel requests, travel reservations (air, hotel, and car rental) and expense reporting, including an automated approval workflow process all in one system.
To access Concur, log into your Campus Portal. Under Applications, select Concur Travel.
Instructions for all roles and activities in Concur are available under the appropriate tabs: Travel Request, Travel Policy, Concur Travel Card, Book Travel Expense Report, Cancelled Travel.
2020-2021 University Travel Guidelines
This information is specific to travel impacted as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19). As the situation remains very dynamic, please check back for updates.
Cal Poly has suspended all non-essential international and domestic travel for all faculty, staff, students and its auxiliary organizations, including Cal Poly Corporation, Associated Students Inc. and Cal Poly Foundation through June 30, 2021.
Authority has been given to the university president to approve exceptions to the travel suspension when there are compelling reasons that support the academic and co-curricular mission of the campus ("essential travel"). All travel must be approved prior to booking a trip or committing funds.
All international travel and study abroad requests must start with the International Center.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For information on Concur and training, please email Travel Analyst, Stephanie Albright at polytravel@calpoly.edu in Strategic Business Services.
