In a recent letter to the UC Davis community, Chancellor May requested leaders to continue to review the need for travel in their units and reduce travel and other expenses as much as feasible.

While there is not currently a travel freeze for our campus, we encourage travel to be limited to only essential university business trips. If travel is necessary, the best option is to book airfare and hotels through AggieExpense. Using the AggieExpense system allows travelers to take advantage of university agreements to attain lower prices and reduces administrative costs for processing expense reports. More information is available at the following Knowledge Base article:  https://kb.ucdavis.edu/?id=10826.    

Further, all units are welcome to use the Request module within AggieExpense as a pre-approval tool to help plan and control travel expenses. Information on this feature is available in the following Knowledge Base Article: https://kb.ucdavis.edu/?id=10785 or contact our travel help desk team at expensehelp@ucdavis.edu for assistance.
