VCU related air and rail purchases must be booked through Christopherson Business Travel.

VCU faculty and staff are required to book air and rail tickets for official business using University funds through Christopherson Business Travel’s online booking tool (OBT), or via one of the travel agents assigned to VCU. University support was garnered for the mandatory-use of the Travel Management contract for all airline and rail tickets to assist in establishing a comprehensive duty of care program. Business travelers are encouraged to utilize Christopherson Business Travel for all business related travel to receive the benefits associated with VCU’s managed travel program.

Prior to booking travel with Christopherson however, it is required for every traveler to update their online profile in the OBT. Step-by-step instructions on how to do so are below.

Once your profile is fully updated, travelers may utilize the OBT or contact a Christopherson agent to book VCU-related travel.

Please contact Nick Fetzer with any questions at nbfetzer@vcu.edu or at 804-828-3409.
