Who needs to complete an RTA?
You’ll need to complete a Request for Travel Authorization (RTA) for almost any kind of university business travel. The University of Texas policy states that all employees, prospective employees, and students receiving reimbursement for centrally billed airfare and travel on university business are required to complete an RTA prior to departure. Departments may also complete an RTA for non-employees who are being reimbursed for travel expenses only. See the travel authorizations section of this Web site for more information about completing and submitting RTAs.
