Requests for virtual travel and/or research related expenditures are made by completing the “BUS Ph.D. Travel and Funding Request_Department Approval Form.” The form is first sent to the department PhD Coordinator who will approve or decline.

If approved, the PhD Program Office will assist the student with payment or reimbursement procedures.

After written e-approval from the department coordinator, the traveler may proceed to creating a university pre-approval travel request via UConn’s Concur Travel Request System (link found at https://travel.uconn.edu/.)
