During or Post Travel - Reimbursement of Travel Expenses
There are 2 primary methods for Cornell University faculty, staff and students to arrange for payment of travel expenses after travel. Non-Cornell travelers (those without a Net ID) may only utilize the “hard copy” travel reimbursement process, 2. below:

1. Online Travel System
   
2. Submission of Travel Reimbursement Form and Original Receipts

Online Travel System
Travelers with a Cornell Net ID are expected to use the Online Travel System for submission of travel reimbursement requests.

Process of Preparation of Travel Reimbursements
1. Traveler, or designee, prepare and submit travel reimbursement via online system.
   
• Indicate a Transaction Specialist in the ASC as the “Payment Request Preparer”: Lorie Gordinier (ljg36), Cheryl Kot (ck44), Irina Schmidt (is40), or Dawn Keefer (dek65)
  
• Hit “SUBMIT” once all trip expenses have been entered
  
2. Forward receipts, along with Cover Sheet from the online system, to the designated Transaction Specialist for review
   
3. Transaction Specialist reviews on-line travel and will approve if complete, or will route back to the traveler for revisions or corrections if necessary
   
4. Traveler makes corrections and resubmits the travel.

Travel Reinbursement Form with Orignal Receipts
Non-Cornell travelers (those without a Net ID) should utilize this travel reimbursement process.

Process of Preparation of Travel Reimbursements
1. Traveler or assistant gathers and organizes original receipts and fills out Travel Reimbursement Form to support reimbursement request within 30 days of completion of travel.
   
• The web link to information about Corporate Cards, Direct Deposit of Non-Payroll Payments, Current Mileage Rates, and Current Per Diem Rates is http://www.payments.cornell.edu
  
2. Traveler or assistant forwards original receipts to ASC.
   
3. If traveler keeps a separate detailed list of expenses which were incurred, there is no need to rewrite information on the worksheet. Simply write "see attached sheet" and have traveler sign the worksheet. The worksheet MUST have the traveler's signature.
