TRAVEL with OSU CIMRS

A completed CIMRS Travel Request form is required for all travel. The SUBMIT button at the top of the form will automatically email the request to the CIMRS Office for approval. Once approved you will be informed via email.

Air transportation with OSU funds is arranged through two contracted agencies: Teel's (Travel@travel-planners.com, 800-233-3225) or Azumano/Away Travel (Corvallis.azumano.com, 800-334-2929); web purchase of ticketsby the traveler is allowed only with a written quote from either contracted agency showing a higher cost on flights using their services.

Enterprise Car Rental is used for transportation to/from airports and for all local or roundtrip travel. Compact cars only on the contract. CIMRS will not reimburse mileage for use of privately owned vehicles. Insurance is covered in states bordering Oregon; additional insurance should be purchased for rental cars outside the surrounding area.

Foreign Travel requires authorization before travel--contact Jessica.Waddell@oregonstate.edu or Melody.Pfister@oregonstate.edu for instructions; travel paid from federal grants must comply with the Fly America Act which requires an American Flag Carrier.

Per diem rates change frequently; check these websites:

You may apply for an OSU "Corporate Card" to keep your travel expenses separate from your personal credit cards. Ask Melody Pfister for assistance.

Reimbursements: See form at link; send to Melody Pfister with receipts. Direct deposit of reimbursements to your bank account is encouraged. This requires separate paperwork from your payroll direct deposit--ask Melody Pfister for assistance.
