Travel Overview

Dear Faculty and Staff,

The linked information is provided to serve as a guide in planning your upcoming business travel and associated reimbursements. Travel reimbursements for ODU are processed electronically through Chrome River. This summary outlines the various aspects of travel, including allowable expenses and necessary documentation.

It is important to note the key differences between the ODU and EVMS travel programs. At ODU, travel expenses are reimbursed after the trip has taken place. The PCard cannot be used for lodging or meals, but it can be used for travel expenses, such as flights, rail, and car rental. Prior approval and registration through the Office of Risk Management's Travel Registry are required for international travel.

To support your training needs, a variety of resources are available, including an online travel training session. In addition to the recorded session, the travel team also offers live training sessions. Please visit the Procurement Services training website to register for an upcoming travel training session. There are additional training guides available.
