General Travel Policy

An individual is in travel status when traveling on official business for SJC whether or not expenses will be reimbursed by the College. A Travel Requisition must be prepared, approved & submitted to the Business Office at least 30 days in advance of the travel date.

There are three categories of travel:

In-county travel covers all travel within San Juan County. In-county travel is the only type of travel which does not require a Travel Requisition.

In-State travel covers all travel within the State of New Mexico, but outside of San Juan County. Levels of approval are indicated on the 'Purchasing Approval Signature Process' chart.

Out-of-state travel covers all travel outside of New Mexico.
