The University Travel Policy has been updated following a comprehensive review. Notable changes include:
Emburse, formerly known as Chrome River is the university's travel management system. The system is used for the authorization of all travel as well as the submission of all reimbursable expenses. Access to the system, as well as a detailed user's guide, are located within Learning Management System (D2L). Refer to the user's guide as well as the Emburse Frequently Asked Questions for helpful information. Please contact Accounts Payable at 540-831-7616 for questions regarding University and State Policy. For technical assistance, please contact 540-831-7614.
All university funded airfare must be purchased through DGI. This partnership leverages travel spending, streamlines the booking process, and provides a duty of care to our travelers. The Online Booking Tool is the preferred and most economical means to book travel, however you may contact a DGI agent for travel assistance if needed. Access to the Online Booking Tool, as well as a detailed user's guide are located within the OneCampus portal. Training is under D2L's Controller's Office Training page. You must register for the training to access the guides. A Quick Start Guide [PDF] is available here and within the OneCampus portal.
If you have questions, please contact 540-831-7616 or travel@radford.edu.
Both the Emburse and DGI User Guides can now be accessed through the Learning Management System (D2L) under OneCampus. The guides are located under 'Travel' on the Controller's Office training and resource page (Once logged into D2L, click Discover, search "Controller's Office").

Airbnb and similar online community marketplaces, such as VRBO or HomeAway, connect people looking to rent their homes and apartments with travelers who need accommodations. Unlike commercial hotel and professionally managed properties, community marketplaces do not provide assurance that the property is in compliance with standard safety or fire regulations. In accordance with requirements issued by the Department of Accounts, risk management best practices and duty of care, the University will no longer approve the use of Airbnb or similar online community marketplaces for University faculty, staff or student travel accommodations effective March 1, 2019.
