Important Update: Legacy Travel System Pre-Approvals Ending December 12

Dear UMBC Community,

Effective December 12, 2025, you will no longer be able to create new Pre-Approvals in the Legacy Travel System. All new travel pre-approvals must be submitted in SAP Concur starting on this date.

We've seen strong adoption of Concur over the past several weeks, and many travelers are already benefiting from its modern interface, integrated booking tools, and faster, more accurate processing.

Planning Travel After Spring Break?

Please begin using SAP Concur now. We expect to fully retire the Legacy System before the end of the spring semester, and shifting early will help avoid delays.

Support & Training

All resources are available at travel.umbc.edu, including:

  • Training for Travelers, Arrangers, and Approvers (in-person, virtual, and recorded sessions)

  • Step-by-step How-To Guides

  • Updated Interim Travel Policy and procedures

  • FAQs and workflow charts

  • Information on booking, discounts, and travel partners

Need Help?

SAP Concur provides 24/7 global support, including:

  • Live chat

  • Phone support

  • Help & Learning Center

  • In-system guidance

This support is available anytime, anywhere—especially helpful while traveling.

Business Services is also here to assist during normal business hours for UMBC-specific questions. Travel@umbc.edu

Warm regards,
UMBC Business Services
