Individuals who are invited to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSC-H) for the purpose of an employment interview and evaluation may be reimbursed for allowable travel expenses from departmental discretionary funds. Allowable expenses are those incurred for transportation, meals, and lodging. Also, note that some recruitment and/or moving expenses are considered taxable income; refer to the Travel Guide for more information.
Prospective employees are ineligible for the receipt of Travel Advances. Travel advances may only be granted to current employees.
The recruiting entity must obtain prior departmental approval for such a reimbursement and submit a Miscellaneous Order Form in TUFIMS prior to the individual's visit. The reimbursement of allowable travel expenses incurred by prospective employees uses the State of Texas Purchase Voucher, which may be obtained from Stores.
For additional information, see "Special Travel Situations" in the Travel Guide.
