CHM Purchasing - CHM Travel & Reimbursements

How to reserve travel and submit for reimbursement.

The UW has some strict policies, and we want to make sure your costs get covered!

Travel Tips

  • Airfare MUST be purchased through Concur or Fox World Travel – it will not be reimbursed if purchased outside of UW (including guests!)
  • Concur = online travel reservations for airfare, lodging, car rentals 
  • Fox World Travel is the UW approved Travel agency (ph. 844-630-3853) (note: Updated from Travel Inc. as of July 1, 2024. Agency transition details link)
  • Keep track of your reservations in the Fox World Travel Portal
  • If you will be driving a car for UW business, you must be a UW authorized driver.
    • Also required for mileage reimbursement for employees only (not guests)
  • Use the Per Diem Calculator to look up allowable lodging amounts for your destination
  • When in doubt - book through UW travel agency or directly with the vendor.

  • Meals and Incidentals information
  • Carbon Offset
  • AirBnB tips:
    • When reserving AirBnB, all cleaning fees must be factored into the maximum daily reimbursement rate per person.
    • You do not need to calculate the taxes within the max rate per person. Depending on location, UW might have a tax-exemption. If UW does not have an exemption where you're staying, taxes are reimbursable.
    • Additional helpful information in case one person is paying for the stay: The expense reports for all travelers must include documentation to show the double (triple, quad, etc.) occupancy and identify which traveler(s) incurred the expense. Travelers may be reimbursed in full when paying for a shared room on behalf of another University business traveler from the same institution.
