TRAVEL EXPENSE REMINDER: Faculty who used personal funds to book travel for research, academic or professional activities that have been canceled or postponed due to COVID-19 can still be reimbursed from their UTSA funds. Complete an expense report with only the amounts that were paid, document cancellation for COVID19 reasons and include any relevant receipts. If the travel was booked using sponsored project funds, check with your Research Service Center or visit REDKE’s COVID-19 Federal Guidance to ensure that reimbursement is allowable on the funds.
CONNECTING TEAMS: Microsoft Teams is an important way for you to stay connected with your UTSA peers, although it’s not currently available to students. Virtual training on Microsoft Teams is offered twice daily; view the training schedule. If you have other questions about Teams, contact Tech Café online, via email or by calling 210-458-5555.
