Travel Card Application Now Automated

We are excited to announce we have automated the Travel card application process, which in turn eliminates the paper application!

This new process is driven through Docusign and will be in place beginning June 6. The potential cardholder will still apply for the card using their CAS log-in and fill in all the required fields as well as complete the required Travel card training.

How it works:

Use of Campus FedEx Account Number Suspended
