NOTE:
A traveler attending a conference or other formal meeting as an official representative of the university
may be reimbursed  for the least expensive (single room) conference lodging cost if a brochure
from the conference—including the name of the suggested hotel—is included with the Travel Claim form.

LODGING RATE EXCEPTIONS
ASU President Michael Crow has designated Authorizing Travel Officials (ATOs) that have
the authority to approve lodging reimbursements at the federal rate on a case-by-case basis
when the ATO has decided that compliance with the State of Arizona lodging rates is impractical
under the circumstances for a particular trip.
Take a look at the Federal Lodging Rates.

Impractical in this case means that a traveler would either have to:

  • personally pay for the difference between the approved lodging rate and the best nightly hotel rate;
  • stay at a hotel farther away from the conference or university business; or
  • stay at a hotel inferior to those normally approved for travel.

If you need an exception to the lodging rate, you must note that on the Travel Authorization form.
Indicate that you need to be "approved for the federal lodging rate maximum for this trip."
Then submit your Travel Authorization form to your ATO for approval.

NOTE: Current policy states that all other lodging exceptions require VP approval.
