17.C Business Hosting/Travel and Business Hosting Expense Report

The University welcomes visitors, guests, and employment applicants, and recognizes that faculty are often asked to host these visitors. Reimbursable hosting activities must contribute to or result from legitimate University business. In instances in which alcohol may be legally served, this expense must be separated from other expenses and covered by an appropriate non-sponsored, non-general fund funding source. See Section 18.D, “Alcohol and Other Drugs.” Hosting expenses are not allowed on federal accounts.

An event identifier number is used to document the business purpose of the hosting activity and other required information, and may be obtained from the website located at <websvcs.itcs.umich.edu/traveloffice-bin/travelmain>. Appropriate hosting expenses may be charged to a University Purchasing Card (see Section 17.F.3), or alternatively, the expenses may be incurred and reimbursed by using a Travel and Business Hosting Expense Report.


See SPG 501.04-1 for business hosting guidelines and the Travel and Business Hosting Expense Report forms and checklists.
