When traveling on behalf of the university, please make sure you are helping choose the most economical option.
First determine whether it is more economical to rent a car or use your personal vehicle. This can be done using the mileage calculator on the financial affairs webpage.
The university will reimburse at the lower of the two amounts. It is also important to determine if it is less expensive to fly to your
destination or to drive. If it is less expensive to fly and you choose to drive, the university will reimburse you for the lesser of the two amounts.
Please consult the University Travel Policy or contact Matt Hammar (mhammar@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
