Travel: additional forms and information can be found on the UCSB Accounting Services and Controls website under Travel.

  Travel Packages Purchased from Internet Vendors: Travel "packages" from Internet vendors typically do not itemize expenses. Therefore, no business-related travel should be booked through such vendors unless the traveler has confirmed that each aspect of the package will be separately itemized (e.g., itemized hotel charges, airfare) to assure appropriate documentation for reimbursement.

  NEW BUSINESS TRAVEL ACCIDENT INSURANCE: The University has purchased new, broader business travel accident insurance. Employees traveling on official University business, and their spouses, domestic partners, and children traveling with them, are now covered worldwide, 24 hours a day when traveling out-of-state or overseas. In addition to the typical coverages, this policy includes coverage for emergency medical evacuation, out-of-country medical expenses, loss of personal effects, and security extraction. The new carrier, ACE USA, is highly rated and provides insurance products and services throughout the U.S. and around the world.
