Types of Eligible NCSSM Travel:
Travel types do not have to be noted in your travel request, these travel types are only outlined to give you an idea of eligible NCSSM travel.
Local Travel - Travel that only requires mileage reimbursement. This particular travel will only require the Local Travel form, which does not need a Travel Authorization. You will be sent the form to sign at the completion of your trip.
In-State Travel - Any travel that takes place within the state of North Carolina. In-state travel can include meal per diems, hotel arrangements, car rentals, conference registration, Uber reimbursements, etc.
Out of State Travel - Any travel that takes place outside the state of North Carolina. Out-of-state travel can include meal per diems, hotel arrangements, car rentals, conference registration, Uber reimbursements, etc.
Cross Campus Travel - Travel that goes between the Morganton and Durham campus. You are eligible to request funding support from the Morganton Administrative account if you are: traveling between campuses or have approval from Kevin Baxter or Caroline Glover for any other request. All cross-campus travel should initially be charged to departmental budgets using their Morganton budget fund and their own departmental AMU when preparing travel authorizations or coding p-card expenses. A budget transfer request is required to obtain funding support from the Morganton Administrative account after travel is complete.
For all divisional budget funds, AMUs, etc. please review the NCSSM Active-Common Chart of Accounts from the Business Office.
