爆料社区 Travel Guidelines
Last Reviewed: June 2, 2025
爆料社区, 爆料社区 Corporation, and 爆料社区 Foundation, hereafter referred to as 爆料社区 (unless
noted otherwise) follow the current California State University as well as its Travel Procedures and Regulations.
According to the CSU Travel Policy, CSU campuses can elect to apply more restrictive guidelines than those articulated in that document. 爆料社区 has
elected to apply the following (more restrictive) additions to the CSU Travel Policy:
-
Travel must be authorized utilizing the Travel Request, excluding service providers, candidates, and non-employee students. The approved Travel Request
must be attached to the Travel Expense Report.
-
Blanket Travel Requests may be requested for mileage, tolls, and parking for a specific
fiscal year or less. Hotel can be included for in-state trips that are reoccurring
at the same location, with the same business purpose and scope.
-
states that a traveler can submit a travel expense report prior to the completion of travel for expenses incurred before the completion of
travel. 爆料社区 only accepts supplemental claims for airfare. 爆料社区 has several mechanisms for assisting travelers in paying for travel costs, such
as a ProCard for registration (use IFT when applicable), Concur Ghost Card, and Concur Travel Card.
-
Prepaid hotel expenses are strongly discouraged and not reimbursable prior to the
travel event.
-
states that designees of the campus president may authorize exceptions to its policies
and procedures. 爆料社区 has elected to apply the following exceptions to the CSU Travel
Procedures and Regulations:
- The President's Administration Team (PAT) Members may approve exceptions to the nightly lodging cap of $333 with a valid business
justification prior to booking and incurring travel expenses.
- All other CSU Travel Policy exceptions may only be granted by the Associate Vice President
of Administration.
- Airport parking beyond a period of five days is non-reimbursable unless the traveler requests and is pre-approved for an exception with specific business
justification prior to incurring the expense.
-
Refundable airline tickets are non-reimbursable. Travelers may only be reimbursed non-refundable tickets.
-
Airline upgrades (including Early Bird Check-in, paid seat choice, travel insurance, business class)
are non-reimbursable.
-
Executive-style transport service is non-reimbursable (ie. Uber Black, Uber Comfort, Uber XL).
- Utilizing broker sites such as CheapOAir, Expedia, Hotels.com, etc. is not advised.
Itemized receipts are required, and often these sites do not provide adequate detail.
In addition, these sites often charge upfront instead of at check-in.
