Board rule on travel revised as part of the new University travel management program
 

At its March 13, 2024, meeting, the University’s Board of Trustees revised the University rule for travel to better complement the new University travel management program. The updated rule authorizes the Office of Finance and Administration to develop and administer a travel policy for all administrative and academic units, which is reflected in the UA Travel Policy Manual. 

The Department of Purchasing will administer the travel management program and will provide advice regarding procurement practices when spending University funds for travel. The most current travel policies can be reviewed in the     UA Travel Policy Manual
