The University offers a self-service booking option and a full-service option with a wide range of beneficial services. Using the booking options provided allows for streamlined payment and reimbursement processes and ensures travelers are meeting the university policy requirements.
The self-service and the full-service options offer the ability to centrally pay airfare, which is highly encouraged over a personal credit card payment with reimbursement. Airfare purchased on a personal card is only reimbursable after a trip is complete. If a trip is cancelled, it is not reimbursable until the cancelled trip has been reapplied to a new trip and that trip is complete.

- Central Bill Payment
- Personal Credit Card Payment *reimbursable after the trip is complete
