The Chrome River travel preapproval is required for all Great Falls College employees who wish to travel out-of-state.  

It is important that the traveler apply for the authorization as soon as possible since the travel preapproval must be on record before any travel advance, Chrome River expense report, requisition order, or Chrome River Travel Expense Report is processed.   

Even though policy does not require employees to have a travel preapproval for in-state travel, if any of the following conditions are met then a travel preapproval is required. 

1. Personally-owned vehicle will be driven. This must first be approved by the supervisor and the rate at which reimbursement will be owed. There is a low rate and high rate.  
2. If lodging is higher than the approved destination state-rate. Actual cost must be justified. 

See section 540.00 for Travel Authorization for non-employees.
