ISU Travel Policies
Effective July 2002, travelers may choose to use Internet sites instead of ISU contracted travel agencies to purchase air tickets. You may use your personal credit card for the purchase, however, reimbursement will not be made until after the conclusion of the trip.
Travel advances will not be issued to facilitate purchases of air tickets. Documentation of the ticket, such as the Passenger Receipt coupon or a copy of the e-ticket confirmation showing the amount paid, should be attached to the travel expense reimbursement form.
To use an Iowa State University contracted travel agency to purchase an air ticket, the ISU Air Travel Policies Web page.
Iowa State University policies and procedures that include travel are located on the Controller Department’s Travel Information Web site. Iowa State University has contracts with the following travel agencies for travel services. Please turn in all original detailed receipts (meals/transportation/hotels) with your travel reimbursement form.
NOTE: If you need a consolidator for foreign travel, get a fixed quote faxed to you, forward that quote to the ECpE Secretary in the Main Office, 2215 Coover Hall. The secretary will work with an approved travel agency and ISU to get the best rate.
