  5. *If the travel is international* International Office's Approval (submit information to the International Office's Travel Registry at )

Once you’ve obtained all required approvals, you can embark on your travel. Please note that Thorpe's approval is required for any travel-related reimbursements to be processed from faculty's professional development funds -- these funds are available from Sept. 1 through May 31. Please also consult the travel-related policies from the Business Office prior to your travels. 

Venture forth! Be sure to keep any itemized receipts from related expenses that you wish to have reimbursed.

Return home, safely.

After returning from your approved travels, submit a Travel Voucher (obtained from the Business Office), along with all related receipts, to the Thorpe Center via email within the approved, fiscal year. Please reference the Business Office’s Policies, along with the Faculty Development Handbook section on Professional Travel, when requesting reimbursements. (Note: Incorrect or incomplete forms will be subject to adjustments or require resubmission.)

After the reimbursement request has been approved by the Dean of Curricular & Faculty Development, the paperwork is then handed over to the Business Office. Their office is in charge of finalizing and dispersing the official reimbursement monies directly to faculty.
