Concur FAQs

Not yet. First you must submit a Request through Concur that includes cost estimates of your airfare, hotel, meals, and other expenses. It’s usually a good idea to round up your estimated expenses. Your request will then route to your supervisor for approval. Once approved, you can use Concur to book your trip.

Partially funded travel paid out of state side funds will need to be completed through Concur. Please keep in mind that you will need to be mindful of your expenses and make sure that you do not spend more than you were allocated. You may use your own personal card and be reimbursed through Concur. Please note that if you were issued and use a State Travel Card and go over your allowed amount, you will need to pay that amount back at Cashier’s when you return.

Be sure to include these dates in your trip Start and End dates when creating your travel request so your supervisor knows how long you will be out of the office. In the request section, you will need to add in the dates of your personal vacation to confirm no Cal Maritime travel charges will be expensed for those days.

Supervisors are notified by email and have six calendar days to approve your request. If you know your supervisor will be out of town for longer than six days, please call 707/654-1042 or email CMA-AP@csum.edu for assistance.

An approved Travel Request is required prior to booking any travel reservations.  If you ski; this step and g directly to the "Trip Search" section and book a travel reservation, the system will put your reservation on hold and route you to the Travel Request section to complete a Travel Request.  You have 24 hours to submit a request and get the request fully approved.  Otherwise, your reservation will be cancelled.  Please do not book travel from the Trip Search, and instead, book your travel from your approved Travel Request.

You have 60 days to complete and submit an Expense Report.  On the 61st day, the Travel Request will close and you will need to start a new request request.
