Registration Fee Only No Travel Expenses A CAH Travel Request form is not required for only registration with no travel expenses. However, a PO using category number for registration is required by Travel/F&A. The appropriate account numbers to select from for this particular type of PO, relevant to the registration are: – (REG FEE INSTATE NO TVL EXP) – (REG FEE OUTSTATE NO TVL EXP) – (REG FEE FOREIGN NO TVL EXP) Note: When a journal (IDT) can be used to cover registration only with no other travel expenses for a local sponsored UCF event, a PO is not required.

Common Mistakes When the update is submitted, use the notes section on form describing what is being updated. – For example if increasing E&G funding. Original request was approved for $500 and increasing funding now to $800. Additional money was transferred over from Honors. Total Travel Cost not filled out correctly – If Zero dollars are being used for travel, but traveler is paying out of his/her own pocket put the estimated “Personal” cost of the trip.
