Travel Reimbursement FAQs
With a receipt or paid invoice, UND will reimburse business expenses for internet charges, rental cars, copies, faxes, shipping, and postage.
In addition, with written business justification, UND may reimburse for other business expenses such as mandatory bellman/maid charges, late check-out fees, business calls, cancellation charges; and international travel expenses such as currency exchange fees and immunizations. In very limited cases, UND will reimburse for travel insurance or GPS charges.
If you do not have a receipt/invoice for a transaction, you will need to contact the vendor for a replacement receipt/invoice. If you are not able to get a replacement receipt/invoice, the missing receipt form will need to be completed.
(Note: UND will reimburse for a cab without a receipt costing $10.00 or less.)
Although discouraged, University of North Dakota may advance funds for the payment of meal and lodging expenses incurred while an employee is on business travel. All travel advances must be preapproved by Procurement & Payment Services. To qualify for a travel advance:
- Travel must be in excess of five days per month (does not need to be consecutive)

Submit travel advance request in writing (email) to Procurement & Payment Services. Request must include:

If approved, Procurement & Payment Services will notify the department and process the advance through the electronic payment process.
