- While completing the REQ/Request for Travel Authorization Form, under Traveler Information, select “YES” to Will a Faculty Travel Grant be used to pay for part or all of the travel?
- The REQ will auto populate the FTG account 30-0006-6051. The traveler must add a second account per FTG rules as a precaution to direct billed transportation over the approved grant amount. This second account could be Area Travel, Research & Travel, or any other travel eligible account accessible by traveler. If traveler anticipates only using up to the $1200 in FTG enter $1 for the second account. Per FTG rules not adding a second account is not an option. The FTG will not be considered without one.
- Route the REQ/Request for Travel Authorization as instructed and complete the FTG application via the Graduate School site (link under 1b above).
- The Finance Office will certify the RTA information directly to the FTG.
- The FTG has been approved once the traveler receives an email directly from Lisa Jaskolka with the subject line: Faculty Travel Grant Approval Notice – FTG Approval. See image
- If the traveler has not received the approval email prior to the travel departure date please contact Ashley Spears immediately to ensure all steps were executed accordingly.
