How Do I Buy...

Travel - Employee

Description:

Flights, (domestic and international), hotel, car rental, and rail transportation can be purchased through either Collegiate Travel Planners (CTP) or Diversity Travel. Both travel partners can be found on your Microsoft Dashboard.

Enterprise has a current contract with ISU. Vehicle reservations can be made directly through Enterprise/National (Business and Personal).

You can also send request travel related purchases through finance_delivery@iastate.edu (making sure to include the Worktag to be charged and the business purpose for the purchase), and a member of the Finance Delivery Team will order on a Travel and Hospitality Card (T&H) for you. You can also use the Request Air Ticket form in the service catalog to have a Procurement and Expense Specialist order air tickets for university business on your behalf.

Iowa State University can provide employees with a Travel and Hospitality (T&H) Card to use while traveling both domestically and abroad. The Iowa State T&H Card program not only provides Iowa State employees with the ability to make purchases exempt from sales tax (where applicable), but also relieves the need for employees to use personal funds for university business. Additional information about the T&H Card program can be found on the T&H Card page of the Procurement Services website and a step-by-step walk-through of the application process is available here.

More information on employee travel can be found on the Controller’s Department Travel Information page which includes a links to Travel Expenses Allowed and Travel Expenses Not Allowed.
