FACULTY ONLY - New Travel Application: Chrome River

If this is your first Chrome River travel request, please contact Melinda Beel.

The Office of Business and Finance has implemented a new travel application for processing travel authorization requests and travel expenses claims. For an overview concerning Chrome River, the new travel application, please see our Zoom Meeting  with the Middle Tennessee Administrative Professionals on Tuesday, June 13th, 2023. The presentation includes basic navigation, example expense reports, general guidance, and answers to questions. For additional guidance, please also see our August 2nd, 2023 Teams Meeting with the Jones College of Business that demonstrates out-of-state travel. 

Pre-approvals (Travel Authorization Requests) may be entered in Chrome River for travel beginning on July 1st, 2023 and beyond. Departments may also use Chrome River for Expense Reports (Travel Expenses Claims) that do not/did not require Pre-approvals (Travel Authorization Requests). The Business Office recommends starting with simpler claims (expense reports) to learn the basic navigation for the new application. Once departments can successfully navigate Chrome River, they may begin using Chrome River for most travel unless directed otherwise. Travel Authorization Requests submitted in Dynamic Forms will require Travel Expenses Claims to be submitted in Dynamic Forms. Chrome River Expense Reports cannot be submitted for Travel Authorization Requests submitted in Dynamic Forms. 

The Business Office is currently training individual departments and providing overview sessions for campus personnel. If you would like training for your department, please contact Accounting Services to set up a meeting time
