Traveler resources

Find the latest travel guidance on the Travel guidance webpage.

All domestic and international trips with an overnight stay or airfare are processed in My ASU TRIP with a request submitted before travel and an expense report submitted within 30 days after a trip ends.

Accounts payable processes trips without an overnight stay, airfare and ASU travel card transactions on the mileage — parking reimbursement form.

Travelers are responsible for the review and compliance with:

  • ASU Policy.
  • Authorized Driver Program.
  • Carbon Project — price on carbon for air travel.
  • Funding source and department requirements.
  • Receipt requirements: Receipts are required for any expense greater than $50 not placed on the ASU travel card. Itemized receipts are required for any expense — regardless of amount or payment method — for airfare, car rental, lodging, or business meal. Additional receipts may be required by your department or funding source. My ASU TRIP accepts the following file formats for receipt images: .html, .jpg, .jpeg, .pdf, .png, .tif and .tiff.
  • Traveling with mobile devices.

Trips require an approved request before traveling and travel booking. Expense reports are filed when the trip is complete and created from the approved request.

The request:

  • Authorizes travel card use for trip expenses.
  • Documents needed for travel approvals.
  • Provides a trip expense and itinerary estimate.
  • Provides data for traveler location for risk assessment.

High-risk destinations

  • Additional departmental and risk management approvals are needed. Sufficient details should be included in the request for assessment. Allow time for these additional approvals.

Personal time

  • Do not include any expenses associated with personal time included on your trip. Costs associated with the personal portion of the trip are not reimbursable.
