Domestic Travel Information

Engaged learning and scholarship take place in a variety of real-world settings. These guidelines and resources are intended to support U-M faculty, staff, and students who are traveling off-campus within the United States for University-related purposes. Those traveling abroad for University-related purposes must continue to use the travel resources from Global Michigan, in accordance with University Standard Practice Guide #601.31.

Schools, colleges, and individual units may have additional policies and procedures in place to support domestic travel—travelers should adhere to those policies.
