Good Morning,

The BME Business Office received notification from Sponsored Program Services this week, that Michelle Mariga has been assigned to take on the College of Engineering Post Award Management.  We are currently working with Michelle on items, and hope to have any outstanding issues resolved soon.

We also wanted to ensure you are aware of changes to University Travel regulations announced in Purdue Today on 7/2/24.  You can find the Purdue Today here:  https://view.communicate.purdue.edu/?qs=1cd2e813a58726557d277bb0fbb27fd1aabf8c7f057b4e5eeb110aad6400552a002008afe4f427a777045f92de0f2d92263b51ee405742e3bc1bb3e922f29800bbef45ee1fcd50d3a555fea157de9274

Below is a summary of some of the changes found in the new regulations:

• Expense reports with outstanding Travel Card transactions that are 180 days or longer after the last day of official business travel will be submitted by Purdue travel staff on behalf of the traveler. Personal reimbursement will not be allowable after 180 days after the last day of official business travel
• Reduced from 14 hours, eight hours is the new threshold for a flight upgrade to business class to be an allowed expense, and layovers are considered part of that time
• The maximum reimbursable amount for a domestic flight which includes personal time and does not have a cost comparison was increased from $400 to $550
• The maximum reimbursable amount for an international flight which includes personal time and does not have a cost comparison is now capped at $1,000

Attached is a copy of the full Purdue travel guidelines. It can also be accessed at Updated Purdue travel regulations in effect - Purdue University News. Please let me know if you have any questions.
