Higher education specialists.

We know that a higher education travel program doesn’t work like a typical corporate program – it is vastly different in structure, culture, and values. Our CTP team are higher education travel experts – we specialize in understanding the unique needs and diverse culture of universities and use that deep knowledge to create a travel program that fits your institution’s requirements.

The difference between your experience with a corporate travel agency and a higher education specialist agency like us? We’ve laid it out for you.

Service that fits your needs (never outsourced)

There is no “one-size-fits-all” in travel services, and definitely not in higher education travel. Our flexible and customized approach to travel management brings the very highest level of service to each of our collegiate clients in a way that drives both efficiencies and best practices. You’re never a number to us.

And we know that you might need us at any time, and you want someone who knows your university and your program – that’s why we never outsource our after-hours support teams. We’re available 24/7 and you can trust our team to be there when it matters.

E&i contracted supplier.

In 2019, Collegiate Travel Planners was named an E&I Cooperative Services contracted supplier. E&I Cooperative Services is the only sourcing cooperative exclusively focused on serving the education community, with over 5,500 member institutions.

The benefit? Our agreement with E&I means our higher education clients who are E&I members can bypass the entire federally required contracting process – including research, RFP development, and contract management.

The National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) has validated the E&I RFP process, so we’ve got your compliance requirements covered. By eliminating the time spent on these labor-intensive tasks, your staff resources can be reallocated to focus on more strategic projects that help advance your institution’s mission – including things like process improvement, supply chain optimization, etc.

Plus, E&I membership and contracting has its rewards! Many E&I members receive patronage rewards from E&I Cooperative Services based on contract usage. This means E&I contracts can actually help you generate revenue on campus.

CTP was honored with the “Best in Member Responsiveness” award from E&I in 2023.

Testimonial

I had five students this past Wednesday that needed to compete in DC on Thursday afternoon, and they were scheduled to fly out on Wednesday morning. All flights east were canceled that morning, and I immediately picked up the phone and called CTP. I had four students in Chicago and one in Indianapolis, but CTP worked on it and walked me through it, and got all my students on flights the next morning so they could get to DC in time to make it to the hotel to change, make the networking luncheon, and compete. I've even had one of those teams already advance to the Sweet Sixteen round of the competition – and that would not have been possible without CTP!

- University Client -

I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience I had recently with a CTP travel agent. The agent's level of professionalism and compassion are top-notch. I recently called the travel line for the first time, and she made me feel like I was an old friend. She offered me alternatives and found something that fit my schedule immediately. She was very kind and compassionate in her delivery and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. This has been my best travel experience EVER - in over 30 years of traveling. The agent went out of her way to accommodate my travel needs.

- Health Science Center Client -

I'd like to personally thank Patrick, Jeff, and all the dedicated CTP agents and staff who brought our study abroad students home, even when CTP didn't make their original travel plans. Once we've returned to our offices, I'll be inviting the CTP team back to campus to review the exceptional customer service CTP provided during this pandemic.

- Travel Manager, University Client -

Your agents were amazingly helpful, gave me great options, and got me ticketed right away!

- Study Abroad Student -

Take your first step toward better travel – right for you, right for your university’s travelers.

Per Diem is the amount provided to a traveler to cover expenses such as food, beverages, meals, meal gratuities, fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, bellhops, hotel maids, stewards or stewardess on ships and hotel individuals in foreign countries. Per Diem is a fixed amount for official travel status and is not a reimbursement for actual costs incurred.

Official Travel Status: the traveler is physically away from their primary work station by a distance of 50 miles or more, or the travel includes an overnight stay.

Tips and Gratuity: are included in the per diem allowance amount and cannot be claimed separately, even if the gratuity is unrelated to a meal expense. This includes all amounts related to baggage handling, hotel services, or for what services gratuities are usual and customary.

Federal per diem rates are determined each fiscal year and become effective October 1.

Per diem is based on the final trip destination not the state of origin. To calculate per diem allowance by the state, or for foreign per diem, visit U.S. General Services Administration Per Diem Rates.

In-State Per Diem, 55.00 per day

• Breakfast $8.00
• Lunch $18.00
• Dinner $29.00

Per Diem Eligibility Time Parameters:

• On the day the trip begins, the traveler is eligible for 100% of the per diem if the trip begins before 12 p.m. (noon).
• On the day the trip begins, the traveler is eligible for 50% if the trip begins after 12 p.m. (noon). 
• For the departure day, the per diem rate is based upon the location of overnight lodging
• On the day the trip concludes, the traveler is eligible for 100% of the per diem if the trip concludes after 6 p.m.
• On the day the trip concludes, the traveler is eligible for 50% if the trip concludes before 6 p.m. 
• For the day the traveler returns from a trip, the per diem rate is based upon the last location of overnight lodging

Same Day Meals

Depending on the departure and/or return time reimbursements may be considered taxable income. In order for reimbursement to be excluded from taxable income, when there is not an overnight stay, the travel reimbursement must be ordinary and directly related to the conduct of university business, IRC 274(a)(1)(A).

In those few situations whereby the department has agreed to reimburse outside of the IRC 162(a) and IRC 274(a)(1)(A), reimbursement will be reported as taxable income to the employee.

Incidental Expenses

Communication while in Travel Status:

Telephone — the cost of personal telephone calls to others within the U.S. while on official travel status is allowed. Travelers are allowed to incur the cost of one phone call for each full or partial day of official travel not to exceed 10 minutes per call.

Internet Access — The cost to gain access to the internet at the temporary work location or lodging vendor for official U of I business is allowed. The cost to access the internet aboard airplanes, or other locations may be allowable, provided that a justification is attached to the travel claim that such access is essential in the performance of official U of I business it is not intended for personal convenience or entertainment.

Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services — The cost for laundry and dry cleaning services are allowable if the duration of the official travel exceeds five (5) calendar days.

Entertainment — The cost of entertainment, such as in-room movies, video games, pay-per-view television programs or similar items, are not allowable.

Ground Transportation — Tips such as taxis and shuttles are allowed for reimbursement as long as they are reasonable and the use of the ground transportation was the most economical and effective means of transportation both from the standpoint of time and cost of the transportation fares.

Purchased a ticket in Feb 2020 to travel in April 2020. Did not travel due to Covid19. They asked for an EFT by check which was done immediately. Unable to travel due to health reasons. In the month of February 2021, I have made 8 attempts to contact agency (spoke with Shah in India who said he'll call back in 15 minutes but never did. Angie hang up on me). I have tried calling several times, put on hold, and as soon as the phone goes through to speak to an agent, the phone gets disconnected. I have spent so much time trying to discuss this situation or to get my money reimbursed but the games have not stopped. This is not the experience I had with university travel before, but I have not had to change or reschedule tickets.

I used University Travel to make reservations for 5 of my family members to fly to Sweden for a family reunion. Rosy made the reservations and the price was much, much lower than what I was finding on any airline website. The office is not slick and expensively furnished; based on that I assume they charge less because their focus is on making travel arrangements rather than on charging a high commision to be in an impressive, high lease office building. What I was impressed by were the low fares she was able to find and the good service.

Travel Services

The mission of Travel Services  is to deliver superior customer service to the Boston University community, to provide timely and accurate reimbursement processing, and to ensure compliance with Boston University policies and IRS and sponsor regulations.

University Travel

Travel on University business and for research, education and public service activities is a valuable and necessary activity for many of the University’s faculty, staff, and students as well as for official business visitors.  Expenses incurred for business travel and other business expenses are reimbursable when properly documented, approved, and in compliance with University policy and IRS and sponsor regulations.

Travelers should feel secure and comfortable when traveling and should neither gain nor lose personal funds as a result of business travel on the University’s behalf.  Only reasonable, necessary, and appropriate travel and business expenses will be funded by the University; expenses of a personal nature are unallowable and are the employee’s obligation.

Faculty and staff travelling and/or making arrangements for the travel of others should be aware of available University resources for ensuring the safety and protection of all travelers, and follow all related requirements as detailed in this document and in the related policies section.

All faculty and staff are required to use the University Travel Card when using University funds to make travel arrangements and when incurring travel and business related expenses during a trip.

In the conduct of University business, faculty and staff should maintain the highest ethical standards and should keep in mind their responsibilities as responsible stewards of University funds.

How Soon Should You Get to the Austin Airport?

Passengers using general Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening should arrive at least 2.5 hours before departure for domestic flights and 3 hours before departure for international flights. Passengers that need to check luggage, return a rental car or complete other activities before joining the TSA security line should arrive even earlier.

TSA PreCheck and Clear users can expect a faster security process than those using general TSA screening. On-site TSA PreCheck enrollment is now offered to departing passengers after they are cleared through security through a new enrollment program, which you can learn more about by visiting  https://www.austintexas.gov/AUS-PreCheck

SRC honors Professor Chris Kim with Sustainable Future Award

The Semiconductor Research Corporation has awarded Professor Chris Kim with the 2024 Sustainable Future Award for his “groundbreaking contributions to energy efficiency and sustainability.” Kim, who is a McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair at the University of Minnesota, has been the innovative force behind the development of a quantum inspired Ising solver chip that is based on existing silicon-based semiconductor technology. The chip is capable of solving complex optimization problems, most common and relatable examples of which are scheduling (for instance, airline schedules) and logistics (delivery of goods and services).

Kim and his team of scientists have designed this particular Ising solver chip keeping in mind that problems in the real world are most efficiently and effectively solved by all round connectivity, where messages in the form of signals can be sent and received to multiple entities/nodes simultaneously. Such an arrangement enables free exchange of information from each node to all other nodes which speeds up time to solution.

To overcome the hardware, connectivity, and time limitations of this approach, Kim uses quantum computing as a launching point while situating the chip design within standard CMOS technology. Straddling the worlds of quantum computing and classical silicon-based computing, the quantum-inspired Ising solver chip emulates qubit behavior using classical device technologies. The design enables faster computation, so you can arrive at a solution rapidly while also consuming less energy. Besides, the use of existing silicon technology provides the added advantage of better scalability. In a nutshell, existing chip manufacturing technologies and design software have been combined to demonstrate a microchip that can find the  optimal solution by emulating quantum properties. The details of the research were published in a Nature article in August 2023 titled, “An Ising solver chip based on coupled ring oscillators with a 48-node all-to-all connected array architecture.” At the time of publication Kim had commented, “The Ising solver chip our team has developed offers distinct advantages: it can solve complex optimization problems rapidly by offering faster computation, consuming less energy, and better scalability.”

SRC in its news post on Kim’s award emphasizes the significant energy impact of his work. They indicate that while current state-of-the-art quantum machines demand a staggering 25 kilowatts of power for cryogenic cooling, Kim's solution operates on a mere 0.03 watts using standard CMOS technology, which is approximately one-millionth of the power required by conventional quantum systems.  

Reflecting on the award Kim says, “When I received the news from SRC about winning this year’s Sustainable Future Award, I thought it had something to do with the lifestyle changes I made almost five years ago—becoming a vegan, selling my gas car and barbeque grill, cutting back on personal travel, and adopting a minimalist lifestyle. Since then, sustainability has become the foremost consideration in both my professional and personal life. As a direct result, my students and I developed a method for quantum computing that doesn’t require huge amounts of energy to cool these exotic devices. We are all fortunate to work in a field where our technical contributions have a direct positive impact on the sustainability of our planet.”

The award was presented at SRC's TECHCON held earlier in September in Austin, Texas. TECHCON is the key event in SRC's research and workforce development efforts, and it is attended exclusively by member company engineers, scientists, and recruiters, and offers opportunities to network, exchange knowledge, and share career insights.
