Concur Travel Card

Credit cards shall be picked up at each campus' Cashier’s Office.

The Travel Card is the preferred method for university travel expenses because it is secure, convenient, and simplifies expense reporting. See Travel Card Benefits below.

Do not use the Travel Card if any portion of the trip is paid by a third party.

If travel expenses are being paid by a third party, refer to Reporting Gifts to Agency for required procedures and additional guidance.

The Travel Card is governed by the Payment Card Policy and Procedures. Review the policy for cardholder and approver responsibilities, allowable use, and program requirements.
