Travel Expenditure Approval Process

In order to comply with University policy, business offices are responsible for ensuring that no one authorizes expenditures for someone to whom they report.

• Division Directors' requests are to be forwarded to Section Heads for approval; and
• Section Heads' requests are to be forwarded to VC-MS, Assistant VS-MS, or the two Associate Vice Chancellors for approval.
• In the case of those units that are not part of a section, such as Ship Operations and the Scripps Department, travel reimbursements will be forwarded to the Scripps Business Office for approval prior to being submitted to Travel.

Assistant/Associate VC-MS requests will be forwarded to VC-MS for approval.

VC-MS requests are forwarded to VC-EBA (Chancellor’s designee) for approval.
