Can Research Foundation, UCPEA and AAUP accounts can be used to book airline tickets through the contracted agencies?
No. These accounts can not be used to book an air line ticket through the contracted agencies. Generally, amounts awarded for air tickets are a partial cost of the ticket. The accounts can not be used to hold a ticket, that is to pay the whole cost when only ½ the cost has been awarded. A traveler can either purchase his/her own ticket and be reimbursed or use a department account or grant account to book the ticket. An adjustment can then be made by the Travel Office to credit that account and charge the partial amount to the Research Foundation, UCPEA or AAUP.
