How the Field Trip Fee Process Works

Faculty or staff interested in coordinating an international field trip must register the experience with Education Abroad in accordance with Administrative Procedure 21.01.03.M0.02. Please read more about the process here. Education Abroad staff will direct the department to the Provost’s Field Trip Fee Request workflow to update or create a new field trip fee (as necessary).

Domestic field trips follow the process outlined below but do not route through Education Abroad.


Please work with department and/or college business office staff to process a field trip fee request. Department and college reviewers and approvers have the necessary access. The college’s international liaison and assistant dean for finance can also provide guidance.

If returning an action, please include detailed comments so a correction can be made.

Routing Path

Education Abroad - All International field trip fee requests route to Education Abroad. Domestic field trips do not route to Education Abroad.

Department and College Review and Approval – Only department and college reviewers and approvers can create, update, return, cancel, modify, or approve a field trip fee request as determined by routing. College review is normally assigned to the Education Abroad College Liaison. The College Approver is normally the assistant dean for finance (or designee) and responsible for establishing workflow routing.

If no change to an existing field trip fee or the fee is decreased then the action will be marked Complete when approved by the college.

Provost Review - Provost Reviewer can return to college for modification or forward to Finance Approval.

Finance Approval - Finance Approver can return to college for modification or forward for Final Approval.

Provost Approval - The Provost (or designee) reviews and approves all field trip fee requests. A memo is uploaded to document final approval and reported to the TAMU System.

FAMIS Account Entry - If necessary, FMO will create and enter the new FAMIS account information.

Detail Code Entry - If necessary, SBS will create and enter the new detail code.

Complete - All routing and approvals are complete and appear in Master List for that term.
