The College of Science and Mathematics (COSM) supports faculty travel through a travel funding program for research, instructional, and professional development activities. Funding is available for scholarly presentations, research and instructional workshops, and professional meetings where the faculty member serves in a leadership role. This page will provide information on travel funding requests and for travel requests that do not ask for funding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please review the information below for eligibility, funding deadlines, travel approval requirements, and other helpful information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel Approval vs. Travel Funding<\/h3>

All faculty travel requiring university approval must be submitted through the COSM Travel Request process. Faculty seeking financial support from the COSM Dean’s Office must also complete the travel funding section of the same application. Travel approval does not guarantee funding approval. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Travel Request and Approval<\/h4><\/div>
\n

University approval is required for any official travel more than 25 miles<\/strong> from your assigned campus. Travel between Tarleton State campuses and locations, including the Timberlake Biological Field Station, is exempt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COSM Travel Request and Funding Application satisfies only the college-level travel request and travel funding requirements. Faculty members are still responsible for completing all departmental and university travel approval requirements. University travel guidelines and information can be be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestic travel requests should be submitted and approved at least 10 days before departure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

International travel requests require additional approvals and must be submitted and approved through the Emburse Expense Reporting System at least 14 days prior to departure. A Foreign Travel Request Form is no longer required or accepted as of December 1, 2025. <\/em>Full international travel policies and procedures can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This application is only for faculty travel. Student travel must follow the university’s student travel procedures, which can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
