Travel Information

Then, all business air travel MUST be booked in Concur or over the phone with World Travel Services, Inc. Although not required, FSU also encourages travelers to book hotels and rental cars in Concur or with World Travel. Travelers should have a fully approved Travel Request in place before booking a trip.

Reimbursement

All requests for reimbursement MUST be submitted within 7 days after completing travel via the Geography work request in-box at  coss-geography-requests@fsu.edu. The request should include travel-related receipts in ONE PDF packet. Failure to do so may cause a delay or ineligibility of reimbursement.

Pay in Advance 

Expenses such as conference registrations, hotel reservations, flights and car rentals can be purchased ahead of time with the department travel representatives’ Travel card. If you need any travel expenses paid for or have any further questions, please see the Administrative Associate in the main office or the Administrative Specialist in Bellamy 323.
