Register for electronic travel-reimbursement training
SIU Carbondale is introducing a new electronic travel-reimbursement process. Training sessions will be offered throughout October and November to help employees prepare for the transition. Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, Accounting Services will no longer accept paper travel expense vouchers.
The updates include:
- A new SIU Travel Reimbursement App for preparing and submitting travel expenses.
- Electronic tracking of reimbursement submissions.
- An updated “Know Before You Go” manual.
- New traveler checklists.
These resources are designed to simplify the travel reimbursement process and provide greater visibility into the status of each submission. Employees who prepare travel expense vouchers for themselves or for other employees are required to attend a training session. Fiscal officers or delegates who approve travel expense vouchers are also required to attend.

Each of the training sessions will be in Morris Library, Room 752/754. The two-hour training sessions begin next week. You need only to attend one session. To register, select the session that best fits your schedule.
