Day Travel

IMPORTANT: It is required that you fully complete your Profile in Concur before attempting to submit any travel.

Day Travel is official University travel that does not require a request prior to travel. All employees, faculty, and staff are required to submit Day Travel through Concur. Reimbursable expenses include mileage, tolls, parking, conference fees, workshop fees, or training fees that are required for official University business. Itemized receipts for expenses over $35 are required to be attached to your expense report.

Currently, students and non-employees need to submit for Day Travel reimbursement on the Day Travel Expense paper form. You can find more information for student travel here and non-employees here.

Below are informative training materials we have created to help you submit a successful Day Travel Expense Report.

Reminders for Submitting a Day Travel Monthly Expense:

• Day Travel should be submitted within 45 days after the monthly travel was completed.
• Create one Expense Report per month for all car mileage and related expenses and verify all University official business travel has been included in the report. 
• A request or encumbrance number is not needed for Day Travel.
• The Mileage Calculator within Concur must be used to calculate and verify mileage. Be sure to enter the physical street address when entering waypoints – the city alone is not acceptable.
• Deduct the daily commute when leaving from home on a standard on-site workday or make a comment as to why the commute is not deducted (ex: travel ocurred on a remote day)
• Utilize the “Campus to Campus” mileage when traveling between Rowan Glassboro, CMSRU Camden, and Rowan SOM Stratford.
• Include detailed information regarding the business purpose of the trip in the “purpose of trip” field.
• When creating an expense report for personal car mileage reimbursement, choose Travel Account 7216.
• Attach an itemized receipt for any expense over $35.00.
• Always include proof of payment when requesting reimbursement. Ex. A credit card statement or copy of the credit card that matches the last 4 digits shown on the receipt should also be provided in addition to the receipt/order confirmation.
• Mileage reimbursement will be made at the prevailing IRS business rate or NJ State grant rate.
• Per diem meals are not authorized for Day Travel.
• Refer to the Travel Policy for guidelines on all Day Travel and mileage reimbursement information.
