Are you a full- or part-time faculty/staff member who travels frequently on State business? You may be eligible for a Corporate Travel Card.
Travel charge cards provide full and part-time faculty and staff who travel more than twice a year with a means of charging expenses incurred while conducting official State business. Students are not eligible to participate in the travel card program.
Payment of the Corporate Travel Card (Individual Liability) is the employee's responsibility. The total account balance is payable in full each month regardless if the cardholder has been reimbursed for the expenses. Noncompliance with travel charge card policies by a cardholder is grounds for revocation of card privileges without alternate travel cash advance privileges.
Improper Use of Card
Improper use of any travel charge card includes, but is not limited to:
- Personal purchases not incidental to a business purpose
- Failure to promptly apply reimbursements for charged business expenses to the account
- Failure to pay the bill in full each month by the due date regardless if the cardholder has been reimbursed for travel expenses
