Tips for completing the Travel Authorization (TA)
form
Before undertaking any travel, every student must complete a Travel Authorization (TA) form and submit it to the GSGA office. The MS Word format of this form is available here. Mac and Linux users may can use this PDF version of the same form. Both these forms can be filled in before printing. If you choose to handwrite it, please be legible.
The TA form must be signed by your research advisor / academic supervisor / guide / department head first. A sample completed TA form is available here. Use it as a reference for how to fill one. The form will be counter signed by a GSGA officer and will be retained by the GSGA office. There is no deadline for submitting this form signed, but it must be done before the travel is undertaken and a week ahead is suggested. If you forget to do this before you travel, make sure you submit this form, duly signed, along with your receipt submission. Make sure the TA form is dated before the travel.
1.
Make sure you and your advisor sign the form. If you do not have a research advisor, get the signature of your department head.
2.
Try to keep personal travel separate from official travel to avoid processing delays after the travel.
3.
Ignore the "For internal use by unit:" comment in the dollar amount box and enter the dollar amount requested from GSGA.
4.
Ignore the fine print at the bottom of the form.
5.
When completed you can either bring it in during GSGA office hours or drop it in the box outside 683 Steger or send it to ML 0193 via UC intra-mail.
6.
If you would like to, send an email to the GSGA treasurer to check if the office received your TA form.
