Contract Travel Agency Information

Purpose of  Contract Travel Agencies

Contract Travel Agencies (CTAs) should be used for university business travel.  CTAs have access to the university's negotiated travel rates with airlines, hotels, and rental cars, accept paperless purchase orders or internal requisitions, facilitate locating and assisting travelers during an emergency, and are under a performance contract with the university.

CTAs may be used for personal / leisure travel. Employees making personal / leisure travel arrangements that involve more than 'simple air' (e.g. cruises, Club Med, tour packages, etc.) are asked to contact STA Travel for assistance.
