To submit an RTA and/or RFS, please use one of our web forms:





What is an RTA?
"Prior approval for all business travel is required for absences from the campus (or other designated headquarters) for periods of half a day or more during the normal working period, whether or not there is a cost to The University."

What does "No Expense to UT" mean?
[What does it mean if I don't give an account number, and check that box?]
"No Expense to UT" means: All of the money from the traveler's trip will come out of his/her own pocket, or other non-UT source. This includes all expenses incurred with transportation, lodging, fuel, meals and any miscellaneous items.
