Travel advances may be obtained by Great Falls College employees to avoid hardship or undue strain on personal finances. Requests for travel advances are completed in Chrome River and can include any expected reimbursable out of pocket expenditures for travel. Travelers need to allow the process at least 10 working days in advance of the departure date and should not be for less than $100. Only unanticipated travel advances will be considered outside of the Chrome River system. A travel advance may be denied to anyone abusing this privilege or who has not followed the designated time schedules for application or filing dates.  A travel advance is for the convenience of the traveler and is an advance expenditure of travel.   

Upon return, a travel expense report must be completed in Chrome River (with receipts if applicable). If the travel advance exceeded the expenditures, a deposit reimbursing the college MUST submitted to business services. 

If a trip is canceled after an advance is received, the advance must be repaid in full to business services within 10 days after cancellation.
