Reminder: One Date. Important Changes.

Dear UMBC Community,

This is a reminder that starting Friday, December 12, UMBC will disable the ability to create new Pre-Approvals in the Legacy Travel System. All new travel pre-approvals must be submitted in SAP Concur beginning on this date.

If you are planning travel after spring break, please begin using SAP Concur now. We expect to fully retire the Legacy Travel System before the end of the spring semester.

Need support?

SAP Concur offers 24/7 assistance, including live chat, phone support, and a robust Help & Learning Center—available anytime, anywhere. Business Services is also available during normal business hours for UMBC-specific questions.

Resources

Training sessions, guides, policies, FAQs, and other support materials are available at travel.umbc.edu.

Secondary Note: Business Services & Accounts Payable Holiday Deadline

As a reminder from Business Services & Accounts Payable:

To ensure timely processing before the State of Maryland's end-of-year closure, the following items must be submitted to Business Services with all required approvals by close of business on Thursday, December 12:

  • Payment Requests

  • Invoices

  • Travel Reimbursements

  • Working Fund Requests

Items received after December 12 will be processed in the new calendar year due to State holiday processing pauses.

Thank you for your attention to these deadlines and for your cooperation.

Warm regards,
UMBC Business Services
