Travel

Welcome to the Travel Homepage!

This site provides an overview of Western Michigan University’s travel procedures, including travel authorization, expense reporting, and reimbursement for University business travel. Travelers should also follow any additional authorization or procedures required by their department.

Please use the Collegiate Travel Planners online portal for viewing important travel notifications.

All University-sponsored travel must be approved through a Travel Authorization (TA) before travel begins. To allow sufficient time for review and approvals, travelers should submit their TA at least 30 days before departure.

You will need to provide the business purpose, estimated expenses and funding source. Your TA is automatically routed to your supervisor for review and approval.

University travelers using grant or contract funds must comply with all University policies and procedures regarding travel. There may be additional restrictions on travel when using grant or contract funds, such as Fly America Act, foreign travel and per diem restrictions. The travel should be included in the approved budget for the grant or contract. For more information contact the Grants and Contracts Department at (269) 387-4707.
