Prior approval for all business travel (whether or not it is funded), is required for a faculty/staff absence from campus for periods of half a day (4 hours) or more during normal working periods. This includes Aug -16 to May 15 for all faculty. If you have a summer teaching or admin appointment, then it it includes those dates as well.

Additionally, for faculty, an RTA must be done whenever you will miss a class you are teaching, regardless of the purpose of travel (personal travel, medical leave, etc.). The reason is to document the “disposition of duties” plan. (If personal travel does not impact any classes, an RTA should not be completed.)

Travelers should submit the REQ at least 7 days prior to departure for Domestic Travel and non-restricted Foreign, or 35 days before for Foreign Restricted-Regions.
