Travel Reimbursement (TR-1, TR-1M)

The TR-1/TR-1M forms are designated by the State of Arkansas and UA Little Rock to request reimbursement for expenses incurred as a result of official university travel. In order to reconcile travel expenses, the form must be completed and submitted via the Travel Document Submission portal, with detailed receipts, within 14 days of travel. Detailed receipts are not required for meal expenses, with the exception of Guests of State.

Comments/Explanations

Provide comments or pertinent information that will assist in promptly processing the TR-1 (i.e., attaching a Special Meeting Form that allows reimbursement for meals even if there was not an overnight stay).

Lodging Provided Statement

If lodging was provided to the traveler at no cost to the university, please provide the name, address, and phone number of the person who provided lodging. This is important if the traveler is requesting reimbursement of meals but does not have a hotel receipt to validate an overnight stay.

Signatures

  1. Signature of Traveler. Read the certifying statement and then sign and date the TR-1 attesting to the validity of the expenses reported.
  2. Signature of Supervisor. Supervisor’s signature is required only for blanket travel reimbursement requests. However, departments may establish their own internal approval process (i.e., require signature of supervisor).

Submit Reimbursement Documents
