Mileage Reimbursement Policy
- When traveling on official university business, university supervisors may request reimbursement of travel expenses. Requests for reimbursement must be submitted for payment in Concur within 60 days of incurring the cost, or at the conclusion of the travel, during which the expenditure was made in the appropriate fiscal year of the expense. Submitting reimbursement requests within 60 days ensures OSU's compliance with IRS rules that enables travel reimbursements to not be taxable.
