Travel and Expense Reimbursement

Reimbursement requests must be submitted within 60 days of either the incurrence of expenses or the return from travel. Reports with expenses beyond the 60-day limit require a second higher level of approval by an Exception Approver (either memo or email), which must be attached to the report prior to submission.

Booking Travel

Rutgers currently offers two options for faculty, staff, and students to book Rutgers-related travel. Travelers can book travel using the Rutgers Travel Online Booking Tool, or by contacting Direct Travel, the Rutgers-approved travel agency via email or phone.
Please see sections below for information regarding travel approvals and requirements for booking, and contact RUTravel@finance.rutgers.edu with any questions.
