SPECIAL NOTE - ODU now uses the GSA CONUS rates (domestic travel) and the GSA OCONUS rates (international travel) for all University travel.
For students who must use the Consolidated Travel form rather than Chrome River, you must use the appropriate rates for the period traveled.
Travelers must seek to find hotels within these guidelines. Travelers who do not plan with careful consideration to these guidelines will bear the additional expense personally. In such cases, taxes and surcharges will be prorated and reimbursed only for the appropriate rate.
When determining the hotel rate, the tables show the maximum amount for 1 night's lodging, excluding taxes and surcharges. Taxes and surcharges are reimbursable but are not used to determine the daily lodging maximum. The M&IE Rate Table provides standard meal and incidental reimbursement guidelines and lodging rates.
The appropriate rate is determined by the physical location of the hotel and not the mailing address.
Any individual traveling on behalf of Old Dominion University on official university business must complete the Travel Registry Process prior to departure, no exceptions.
