Travel

 

When is a travel request required?

A Travel Request (TR) form should be completed for ANY form of travel used when conducting official UHD business outside of the place of employment. Travelers Information Request (TIR) form should be completed in advance before the TR is submitted. Travel Requests must be submitted to the UHD Travel Office 10-15 working days for domestic travel and 30-60 days for international travel.

 

Note: A TIR does not confirmed booking of the travel. An approved TR must be submitted to the UHD Travel Office.
