Exception Requests

GS&S has recently integrated Certification requirements into the Enroll My Trip travel registration process. This means no additional form is required for travel that previously required a completed Certification - only a completed travel registration. This impacts undergraduate and graduate student travel to CAT B destinations and faculty and staff travel to CAT C destinations.

Travel Requiring Approved Exception

The GS&S Travel Policy continues to require certain travel to obtain an approved Exception before it can be conducted as University Travel.

There are two versions of the Exception Request form: one for individual travel and one for group travel, both accessible below. Please refer to the first page of each document for a complete set of instructions.

Travelers must engage in this process, at minimum, one month prior to the travel's intended start date. Exception requests to Category X destinations require two months advanced engagement with GS&S.

This impacts undergraduate and graduate student travel to CAT C destinations and faculty, staff, and graduate students conducting PhD dissertation research travel to CAT X destinations.
