Travel and Expense Reimbursement
All employees must obtain authorization to travel from their supervisor. Once the trip is approved, they must create a travel authorization in CUNYfirst. Travelers are responsible for entering their travel details, including event registration, flight/train ticket, and lodging. They must complete a travel and expense reimbursement report in CUNYfirst upon return from the trip.
