Concur

To comply with the University's Revised COVID-19 Standards & Guidelines (effective August 9, 2021): the University Travel Card must be used for all domestic and international travel expenses paid by the University, wherever the card is accepted; and all travel paid by the University must be booked through Concur or Anthony Travel.

The Concur cloud application is used for booking travel through the University's contracted Travel Management Company, Anthony Travel. The Concur cloud application provides access to the University's travel discounts. Concur is also used for reconciling and submitting all travel and business expense reports.

All University Travel Card charges must be reconciled in the Concur expense management system. This system should also be used for any non-Travel Card expenses that are travel-related, including purchases while in travel status, as well as business entertainment expenses, such as hosting conferences or special events.

This functionality was previously part of the ExpenseIt App which was discontinued in December 2018. Find more information and training resources on the Concur website.

TripIt
