travel information
Professional travel funds for California State University, Fresno employees are administered by the appropriate administrator who are responsible for adhering to State and University policy. In addition to routine updates from The CSU Policy and Procedures Governing Travel and Relocation Expense Reimbursement, this section is designed to provide a source of useful information with which faculty, and staff need to be familiar with for State travel.
Expenses incurred for State travel are reimbursed pursuant to State regulations. All travel and campus absence for professional purposes must be approved prior to the travel or campus absence. Adherence to the travel regulations will help protect the individual's personal interest in Worker's Compensation, death benefits, etc. when engaging in professional activities related to his/her position away from the campus.
The Travel Office cannot make reimbursement for travel unless travel forms have been completed in full. Receipts, vouchers and similar documentation allowable as expenditures must accompany the Travel Claim form in order to receive reimbursement.
State travelers should consult their departments before scheduling travel for consideration regarding instructions and approval for travel expenditures. The information which follows is intended to provide a general guide to policies and procedures affecting professional travel.
