General Guidelines
Travel costs are to be allocated and expended within established budgetary limitations and serve an official University of Florida purpose. Travelers are not to make commitments to travel or to incur travel expenses without first obtaining the appropriate approvals.
The Department of Environmental and Global Health is committed to pursuing its academic mission in compliance with established federal, state and local rules, regulations, policies and procedures. In accordance with the PHHP Professional Leave Policy travel-related purchases will not be processed until this form is received and approved by Grants Core or department personnel, and your PHHP TAR has been approved. Any purchases made prior to approval are made at the risk of the purchaser and reimbursement will not be guaranteed. Students are required to obtain Dean’s Office TAR approval if travel expenses will be covered by an award, PI IDC or funds managed by DO.
A formal Travel Authorization (TA) must be completed for the following:
- Conference/Convention
- Foreign Travel
- Registration Fees
