As a State entity we follow our State's guidelines, which allows Cash advances up to $3,000 to cover official domestic travel expenses of student groups, such as debate or judging teams. The faculty advisor may request cash or a check made out to them if they do not want to carry cash. As a second and separate option they can be assigned a declining balance card loaded with an amount their department has designated available for the travel and may use the card to make purchases but cannot withdraw cash. Cash withdraws from the declining balance card are only allowed with International travel.
