Travel
We are starting to see several trips that are being booked along with their reimbursements in the Concur system
so we think most people have been able to attend training. During the implementation period, we have been processing travel reimbursements with paper form 25’s or through Concur, but we will need to migrate completely
to Concur by November 22. This date will coincide pretty closely with the last date that Travel will be able to accept paper form 25’s.
Please contact your departmental Business Manager if you have any concerns about any training needs that might exist. We have staff in the Business Office who are happy to assist you and provide individual training resources as you book
a trip or prepare the expenditure report.
Sincerely,
Christy
