Overview

The fundamental principle governing travel reimbursement expense is that an individual traveling on College business should neither gain nor lose personal funds as a result of official College business travel.  The College will reimburse all employee travel and entertainment expenses that are reasonable and actually incurred for transportation, local travel, meals, lodging and other necessary business expenses within the parameters of this travel policy. 

Assuming a reasonable level of safety, comfort and convenience for the traveler, every effort should be made to make business travel arrangements which keep College expenses to a minimum.  When itineraries are altered to accommodate personal matters, the traveler is expected to pay any additional costs incurred.
