New Travel Updates
Effective Monday, July 31st, UW Oshkosh will have a new procedure when renting vehicles with our local Enterprise office located at 140 N. Koeller Street.
- It is required that you use Concur to reserve your vehicle when renting through the local Oshkosh Enterprise. When using Concur, all reservations for the Oshkosh location will automatically be billed to the UW Oshkosh account.
- Please click here for instructions on how to reserve an rental vehicle using Direct Bill.
- When you return from your trip make sure to get your receipt, so you can attach it to your expense report and be reimbursed for your other travel expenses
- On the expense report your expense type is Vehicle Rental and you will use the payment type University Prepaid.
Please remember per UW System policy that the Fuel Purchase Option, Insurances beyond CDW/LDW, and State Tax is non-reimbursable.
As of October 3, 2016, we will no longer be accepting paper Out-of-State Pre-Approval or Travel Expense Reports (TER). For all future travel please login to E-Reimbursement to create a Travel Authorization (for out of state travel) and/or create an Expense Reimbursement Report.
New Travel Rate Structure and Policies:
Effective Oct. 5, 2015
On Oct. 5, 2015, the UW System implemented a new rate structure and policies for individual meal and incidental costs, lodging, vehicle usage, miscellaneous travel-related expenses and general travel provisions.
Summary of the key changes includes:
- University will not reimburse for travel expenses submitted after 90 days from return trip date.
- Any travel related purchase that is not in accordance within travel policy will be deemed unauthorized and will no longer be reimbursed.
- New Rate Calculator will now be used to determine maximum lodging amount and meal per diem based on location and dates of stay prior to travel. Individual travelers are not allowed to pay for co-worker’s meals.
- The purchase of lodging using online brokers (i.e. Expedia, Hotels.com, AirBnB, etc.) continues to be disallowed in policy.
- Mileage rate increase in federal rate (.54/mile). Gas receipts will not be paid in lieu of standard mileage rate.
- Sponsored event policy now includes the payment of meals on behalf of others including group travel. Rates have increased and are different from individual per diem rates.
The policies are available on the UW TravelWise portal, our official source of all travel rate and policy information.
