Pre-approval

Pre-approval is required for the following types of travel:

  • Out of state
  • In state with overnight stay (includes Washington D. C.)
  • Foreign

Approval must be complete prior to the commencement of the trip. This is necessary to ensure that the traveler is covered by Worker’s Compensation benefits.

 

Required form: E-TRAVEL REQUEST FORM

Level of approval required:
  • Out of state and in-state overnight travel: Department Head, Chairperson or the next higher authority above the traveler.
  • Foreign travel: Same approvals as for out of state travel PLUS the Dean and the Vice President or the Provost.
  • Travel related to a grant or contract should also be reviewed by the appropriate persons to assure that the budget for the grant or contract is sufficient for the travel planned.

 

Procedure:

  • Submit the original form to the approving authority who in turn will forward it to travel@umbc.edu.
  • No tickets will be authorized, and no expense statements will be processed, unless the form is on file at the Travel Desk.
