No-Cost Travel
Domestic or international travel conducted on university time but at no cost to the university is considered no-cost travel. If a third party is paying for travel, those expenses are not eligible for reimbursement through Purdue.
Although Purdue is not funding the trip, no-cost travel is considered business travel and must be properly recorded and documented in Concur before the traveler leaves. Documentation prior to the trip assures that the traveler's supervisor and/or department head is aware of the activity, traveler is covered under worker compensation insurance, and that the traveler can be located in the event of a medical/emergency incident.
Travel provided by a third party must adhere to the Gifts, Gratuities and Recognition (III.B.5) university policy.
