Academic Affairs

International Travel

Overview 

On April 14, 2021, the Chancellor’s Office (CO) released a communication confirming that a modification to travel restrictions would be implemented, effective June 1, 2021. The memo stated that each campus would have the authority to establish travel guidelines for their campus and the process for approval of travel while continuing to adhere to the latest travel guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. State Department’s Travel Advisory for international travel.

The approval of essential in-person travel, domestic and international, for Cal Poly Pomona is delegated to the respective Vice President for each division.


Provost Review of International Travel Requests
 

In the Division of Academic Affairs, international travel requests must be routed through the Provost's office for approval when they involve the following: 

  • All faculty and staff, whether traveling with or without students.
  • Students traveling with or without a faculty or staff member for academically related purposes, including, but not limited to: field trips, study abroad programs, conferences to present research findings, or to act in some other like capacity on behalf of the University.

PRIOR TO TRAVEL

  1. Prepare an International Travel Request Memo to the Provost; see SAMPLE memo (pdf).
  2. Have the memo reviewed and approved by the appropriate parties, e.g., dean, AVP, etc.
  3. Attach supporting documentation, including:
  4. Create a service ticket in the Provost's Office Portal at https://cpp.service-now.com/provost_office to submit the Travel Request Memo and supporting documentation in a single PDF file.
  5. After your service ticket has been resolved and the approved memo has been returned to you, submit a Travel Request in Concur and include the memo and supporting documentation as an attachment.

Note: A Travel Request must be submitted and approved in Concur prior to booking travel arrangements and departure. 

AFTER TRAVEL IS COMPLETED

  1. Within 60 days after the end of your trip, submit a Concur Travel Report to request reimbursement of expenses. The Travel Report must include all required receipts and appropriate supporting documentation (e.g., conference program or meeting itinerary).
