Travel & reimbursement

• graduate students
• undergraduate students

***When you apply for these travel awards, please put the appropriate contact as the Travel Liaison. If your faculty advisor is part of a Center, check with that advisor and put in the appropriate travel processing employee. If your faculty advisor is directly associated with Biological Sciences, you would indicate Teresa Henry as the Travel Liaison.

Biological Sciences travelers should speak with the travel specialist before you go, and submit these items:

• NAU’s Annual Travel Certification is required each year, and must be filled out completely, including checking the box indicating whether or not you are an authorized NAU driver.
• The link above also includes a nice overview of travel requirements, and is a Powerpoint called Travel Policy Overview.
• Permission to travel form – Permission to Travel

• Reimbursement receipts and form should be turned in to the travel specialist within five (5) days of the return from travel. If the travel paperwork does not get processed within 30 days of the travel, there will be no reimbursement.
• You can email Teresa Henry for a paper form
• If your travel is more complicated than the form gives you space for, make sure you create a travel log for the travel liaison.
  

• If you are driving your own car and expect to be reimbursed, you must turn in a copy of your proof of car insurance, and you must be an NAU authorized driver.
• Besides being an authorized driver, if you need to transport students in a van, you will need van training.
• In addition, if you need to use an NAU vehicle, speak with our business manager, and reserve the car online.
• Using a personal vehicle and NOT an NAU vehicle must be justified in the travel permission document.

Have you purchased something for the class you are teaching? Do you have a grant or award that will reimburse you for field supplies?
