Travel and Expense Policy
Who is impacted?
The policy applies to:
- NYU staff, administrators, faculty, and researchers who travel for business or incur business-related expenses, including P-Card users
- NYU students who travel on University business or submit other expenses to the University for reimbursement
- All individuals that authorize or audit business or travel expenses
All impacted community members are responsible for compliance with the new policy, which will be subject to normal audit after a transition grace period.
What do I need to know about the policy?
The Travel and Expense Policy replaced the current Business Expenses policy on September 1, 2021 and is designed to align with the Payment Card Policy and Expense Reimbursement policies. These resources are available for you to learn more about the changes prior to the compliance deadline.
