Travel Card
The University of Maryland Travel Services provides a centrally billed Travel Card for business travel use by travelers and department business arrangers. The Libraries has issued a Travel Card to each of the Directors and to the Dean.
Airline tickets can be charged directly to the Director's Travel card when purchased through the University contract Travel Agencies. The approved travel request form, which is sent electronically to the travel agency, serves as authorization to issue the tickets. Travelers should check with their Division's administrative assistant for procedures on making reservations with the travel agency.
It may be possible to pay other travel, training & staff development expenses through the the Travel Card. The traveler should see his/her division's director or administrative assistant for details. All charges to the Travel Card require the Director's approval.
University of Maryland Travel Cardholders are responsible for all charges made to their Travel Card. The cardholder or his/her designee is responsible for updating and maintaining required records on the Travel Card Transaction Log each month. The Transaction Log must be updated in the Travel Card Management System by the campus due date each month. The Transaction Log should be printed out, signed by the cardholder and sent with the credit card statement and required receipts to the Libraries Travel Coordinator in the Libraries Personnel & Budget Office.
