Travel Registry Requirement

University Travel Risk Management Policy

The University Office for Risk Management administers the University Travel Risk Management Policy #1007 and maintains the University Travel Risk Management registry. This policy requires registration of all global business travel as defined in the policy.

Policy #1007 applies to all employees, students, and employees of affiliated organizations who are paid through the University for approved University-supported/funded travel.
