RTA Submission

If you are going to miss work, you will need to submit an RTA. This is especially important if you are requesting funds to travel.

Step-by-step guide

At least two weeks prior to travel date:

1. Go to: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/services/requests/
2. Log in with your EID.
3. Select Create next to Travel Authorization Request.
   • 
4. Fill out as much information as possible.
   • Description: Include name, event, and dates.
   • Add any relevant notes that would be helpful for me. Keep in mind, that this is an official record.
   • Under Traveler Information include Purpose, Benefits, and Duties. Add comments to each one.
     • Comment example for Purpose: Presenting NAME OF PRESENTATION
     • Comment example for Duties: Duties will be covered by Adriana Threet (adt2444)
   • If you are requesting funds for travel, just select Yes under Account Information and I will add the account number later.
5. After you fill out the information, click the blue Continue button at the bottom.
6. It will take you to this page, Assign it using my EID (adt2444)
7. That's it! I will receive an email with the information and complete the RTA, then route it forward for approval.
