Step 1:

Review CSU Travel Policy and the SDSU Travel Policy (PDF) to ensure you are aware of the requirements of the policy. If you do not comply with the policy, you may not be reimbursed for your travel costs.

Step 2:

Submit Travel Request through Concur. Once you request your trip, the workflow will automatically route to your FAH approver and supervisor for approval. Delegation of approval can only be delegated up in FAH and/or management.  Delegation of booking can be delegated to anyone. Please note approval must be completed within 5 business days.

For details on how to complete and submit a travel request, please visit the Concur Travel: Creating and Submitting a Travel Request (YouTube) and/or CONCUR - How to Create and Submit a Travel Request Guide (PDF).

The Concur Travel Request must be approved before travel is booked.

Step 3:

Concur can be used to make air, hotel, and rental car reservations for campus travel. Once the trip is approved through Concur, travelers can easily book their travel from their desktop or mobile device.  If using an SDSU credit card, you must use the Aztec Travel Card. Please note receipts are still required for any charges on the Aztec Travel Card.

For details on how to complete and submit a travel request, please visit the Concur Travel: Booking Travel in Concur (YouTube) and/or CONCUR - How to Book Travel in Concur (PDF).

No meals can be charged on the Aztec Travel Card as they are on a per diem basis

Please be aware that flights cannot be booked via mobile app.

Step 4:

After travel is finished, you must submit an expense report through Concur. When using Concur you are no longer required to use the Per Diem Worksheet. Please note you have 30 days after the travel end date to submit your expense report.
