In support of the Dominguez Hills priority to operationalize sustainable practices, we are pleased to announce Concur Travel & Expense (Concur), a new automated travel system. Concur is a comprehensive web-based tool that integrates travel requests, booking, expense reporting, and an automated approval workflow - all in one system. In an ongoing effort to improve efficiency, Concur has replaced all paper requests and expense forms, including receipts.

If you are a Concur user, the CSU and campus policies and procedures still apply to your travel. However, you will be required to submit all documentation via the Concur portal (available via MyCSUDH) rather than submitting the travel forms via email.

Please contact concurtravel@csudh.edu with any questions.

Step 1: Setup Concur Profile

Verify your personal information, name an emergency contact, set preferences for email notifications, assign delegates, connect a mobile device, and more.

Step 2: Request Trip

With Concur Request, you can budget for employee expenses before they’re incurred using a customizable pre-spend control, request and approval process. Concur Request integrates with the travel and expense solutions creating an easy workflow. Automating the travel and expense processes is the simplest way to reduce paper, add a few hours back to everybody's day and cut costs. Once you request your trip, the workflow will automatically route to your chartfield approver and administrator for approval.

Step 3: Enroll in Direct Deposit (EFT)

This is not required but is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The address you enter in Concur does not sync up with CFS (our payment system) so we will not know if you have moved. Direct deposit is also much faster than waiting for a check to come in the mail and eliminates the chance for lost checks. You will also receive an email when a deposit has been initiated. Please note that this is completely separate than the direct deposit you may have setup for state payroll.

Step 4: Book Your Trip

Once the Travel Request has been approved, travelers can easily book flights, hotels, and cars from a desktop or mobile device while staying compliant with CSU Travel Policy. Concur delivers travel tools designed to give you visibility, efficiency, and savings, while allowing travelers to book where and how they want.

Step 5: Take your Trip

During your trip, streamline your business travel planning and itinerary management with partnered apps such as Trip It. Enterprise Rent-A-Car and most major hotel chains are already partnered with Concur so any required receipt will be automatically fed to your expense report if you sign up for e-receipts in your profile. If not, you can use the Concur app to snap a photo of your receipt and assign it to a line item in your expense report.

Step 6: Expense Report

Move away from paper receipts and spreadsheets. This isn’t just about expenses, it’s about making sure everything is taken care of. From capturing data accurately and staying compliant with regulations and policies, to seeing all of your spending in one place with the tools to manage expenses wherever business takes you. When using the Travel Card, data flows automatically into Concur Expense, so employees save time and can quickly submit an accurate, in-policy expense report. Once the expense report is submitted and goes through the chartfield and administrator approval workflow, the traveler will be reimbursed for any out of pocket expenditures.
