GUIDELINES (FORM DFA-1)
PURPOSE
This form is submitted to request reimbursement for mileage, tolls, and parking for in-district and out-of district Class C travel
as defined by Section 4D of the Valencia Policy 6Hx28:5-08. Class C Travel is defined as, “Travel for short or day trips where
the traveler is not away from his or her official headquarters overnight. No allowance shall be made for meals or lodging for
Class C Travel.”
PERSONS AUTHORIZED
Personnel entitled to in-district travel reimbursement include:
Employee (full or part-time) of Valencia College
Student of Valencia College;
Consultants or advisors to Valencia College;
Members of Valencia’s District Board of Trustees;
Others as authorized by the District Board of Trustees, the President, or a Designee.
GUIDELINES
General
No form is required prior to in-district travel, unless a fee is being paid to attend the event, in which case an “Authorization for
Travel or Absence from Campus” must be completed.
While the College will not reimburse employees for their normal roundtrip commute mileage, defined as miles incurred to
travel from home to official campus headquarters back home, employees may be reimbursed for any additional mileage
(EXCESS MILES) driven above the normal roundtrip commute. An employee’s official campus headquarters is deemed to
be the hiring campus location within the employee record.
The primary “home” address is based on the active address listed within the traveler’s personal identification record found in
the Banner form FOAIDEN under the address tab. Since a traveler may have more than one active address type, the home
address is determined as follows.
Employees – “HR” address type
Students – “MA” address type
Others – “BI” address type
Local express toll charges will be reimbursed at the most economical rate (i.e. SunPass or E-Pass rate) even if the traveler
does not own an expressway transponder. The mileage reimbursement rate is defined by Florida Statute 112.061(3)(d)1.a,
and is currently 44.5 cents per mile. The “In-District Travel & Out-of-District Report” form contains formulas that will
automatically calculate the claimed mileage at this rate. After the in-district travel occurs, please complete the Mileage
Reimbursement Form based on the checklist provided to ensure the traveler’s reimbursement request is processed as
quickly as possible. The “In-District & Out-of-District Travel Report” should be maintained and submitted on a monthly basis
to aid the College’s monitoring of travel expenditures throughout the year.
