The Chrome River Travel & Expense System is always used for travel on university business where the university is the primary beneficiary of the travel (see "accountable plan" definition).
Some examples of student travel that should be processed through Chrome River are:
- The traveler is both an IU employee and an IU student, but travel is in his or her capacity as an employee;
- A student is attending a conference to represent IU, presenting a faculty member's research or joint research with or on the department's behalf (IU is primary beneficiary);
- A student is voluntarily representing the university by invitation or in an extra-curricular competition, such as in an arts performance, business case competitions, moot court competitions, etc.
