Receipts and other materials that are scanned into the official online university system may have additional retention requirements if funded by a grant or outside entity.

Recordkeeping Notes

The official copy of these records should be held in the university's approved online travel system. However, offices and/or travelers are responsible for maintaining original documentation of trips (i.e., receipts) to confirm acceptance of receipt scans in system or for as long as may be required for other purposes (e.g., records of grant sponsored travel may have retention requirements set by the grant or the granting agency, or university units may have internal policies governing how long travel records must be kept).
