Employees traveling internationally on SMU business or using SMU funds must have their travel authorized and registered before travel. This includes all international travel supported by SMU, including conferences, research, teaching, training, and recruitment, etc. Please do not book/register personal travel or other non-SMU travel.

Step 2
Upon approval of the Concur Travel Request, the traveler may complete their booking through Concur. Once the itinerary has been finalized, it is uploaded into Safeture.
*If you are booking travel outside of Concur, you must follow these instructions for travel registration.
