Prior to Departure
The University requires travelers to prepare an estimate of the total cost of any planned international official business and all incoming foreign national visitors. International travel and all incoming foreign national visitors require prior approval by an Approving Authority, the appropriate Senior Vice President, as well as the Senior Vice President of Administration and Finance. This prior approval is obtained through Chrome River, JMU's electronic travel management solution.
Before arranging international travel, the department or traveler must prepare a Pre-Approval in Chrome River.
