Clarification to administrators, faculty, and staff regarding the Student Domestic Travel Policy that went into effect July 1, 2013.

For local travel* involving students (individuals and groups) there are three categories to consider:

1. If there is no university funding for the trip and no supervision (advisor/faculty member) then no travel authorization needs to be completed. Student Organizations must fill out the Student Organization Travel Request form.
2. If there is no university funding for the trip but it is going to be supervised (even if traveling separately), then only a Field Trip Report form must be completed. Student Organizations must fill out the Student Organization Travel Request form instead of the Field Trip Report.
3. If there is any university funding for a local trip, then a Travel Authorization form must be completed and moved on for appropriate signatures (see Chart 1 2 in policy). Student Organizations will also fill out the Student Organization Travel Request form. This documentation will be attached to your Travel Authorization.

A Travel Authorization form must be completed for any non-local travel.

*Local travel is defined as travel within Henderson, Evansville, Newburgh and New Harmony.
