Travel
Travel on university business
All reimbursed university travel must follow university
travel policies.
Operation and use of sate-owned vehicles
When travel for university business is feasible by car, a state car
(if available) should be used instead of a private car. State-owned
vehicles shall be used for official state business only. Requests for
the use of state vehicles must be authorized prior to the beginning
day of travel by appropriate signature(s) on the "Travel Authorization
and Advance" form. Vehicles will not be released unless a properly
completed and approved "Vehicle Request and Invoice" form
is received by UNCW Motor Fleet at least one day prior to the planned
trip. A copy of a valid North Carolina driver's license for the vehicle
driver must be on file with the UNCW Motor Fleet Office at least one
day prior to the release of any state vehicle. (Insurance regulations
allow incoming faculty/staff to drive Motor Fleet vehicles during their
first 30 days of employment on their prior states' licenses.)
Vehicle operation in North Carolina
New faculty members coming from other states should immediately update
their driver's license and automobile registration. Some states have
reciprocity agreements for certain periods of time with North Carolina;
others do not. The local Division of Motor Vehicles Office at 791-4292
or at 763-1139 can answer most questions regarding vehicle operation
in North Carolina. Penalties can be assessed for non-compliance.
Vehicles operated on campus must be registered with Parking Administration
within 48 hours after the employee begins work. The employee may obtain
a temporary decal for 30-days at no cost. Upon the expiration of the
temporary decal, it will be necessary for the employee to purchase
a permanent parking decal.
The duration of the permanent parking decal is based on the academic
year. The cost to the employee is established by a committee and approved
by the UNCW Board of Trustees. Permanent parking decals are renewable
at the beginning of each academic year.
