Purpose:

The Non-Employee Travel Reimbursement Form is to be completed by all non-employee travelers seeking reimbursement for approved University travel expenses. Approval must be obtained PRIOR to travel commencing. Approval may be documented by email, memo, etc. and must be included as part of the supporting documentation for the reimbursement. A non-employee traveler is not permitted to receive any type of advance nor are they permitted to host a group meal or meeting.

General Information:

All travel must be in compliance with Policies TR01 International Travel and TR02 Penn State Travel Policy.

Non-employees, who are not U.S. Citizens, are required to complete BOTH the Non-Employee Information Form AND the Non-Employee Travel Reimbursement Form. If the traveler is a foreign national, check with your Business Area Financial Office prior to committing to the expense to verify that the visitor's entry status allows for reimbursement. Refer to the Non-U.S. Citizen Payment Guidelines.

Completed and signed Non-Employee Travel Reimbursement Forms are submitted to the business area sponsoring the travel and a delegate enters the information into SAP Concur on behalf of the non-employee. The delegate uploads the completed and signed form, itemized receipts, and the email/memo authorizing the travel as supporting documentation to the transaction within SAP Concur.
