MasterCard Corporate Travel

The MasterCard Corporate Travel Card gives travelers a means of funding expenses incurred while conducting official University business. Wherever possible, the traveler should charge travel expenses directly to the travel charge card. The University issues travel charge cards to individuals who travel overnight at least twice per year. Charge cards have no annual fee and the University incurs no financial liability through use of the cards. Employees who decline the use of a travel charge card may not receive a travel advance loan to cover travel expenses. University employees, who travel overnight at least twice per year, may request an MasterCard Travel Charge Card.
