The form requires the Program Director's signature. TRAVEL MUST BE PRE-APPROVED. Upon approval, the original signed form will be returned to the department for submission with related expenses ONLY.
After travel is completed, the rest of the travel packet MUST be submitted within 45 days after returning. Receipts submitted after 60 days cannot be paid.

GME is moving to direct purchase of airfare for residents whose travel has been pre-approved through the education fund. The system is now available for use.
The first step is to register for a user id, using the link below:
https://www.concursolutions.com/registration/register_form.asp?regcode=USF36842
Setup takes between 1-2 days and then an e-mail notification with a link to the Concur/AAA web site will be sent. Please note that the USF spam filter may block the registration e-mail, so keep an eye open for it.
The resident MUST have an approved TAR number from CODA system to book a flight, so ask whoever enters your travel in CODA for a TAR number. The system will ask for a 6 digit number, enter a “0” in front of the TAR number, as TAR numbers are usually only 5 digits.
As a reminder, JetBlue and Southwest are immediate purchase airlines.
If you have questions about how to use the Concur web-site, or experience technical difficulties, you may contact AAA’s help-desk at 877-463-0543.
