Integrated Travel System Training

Training on the University's new Integrated Travel and Expense system (Concur) has begun!

All University employees who travel on University business or who need to claim reimbursement for travel and/or business expenses need to be trained on how to use the system prior to access being granted.  We are slowly "rolling out" training to the faculties and units in a phased-in approach.  Employees belonging to faculties/units which are considered live with Concur, but who have not yet gone through training are welcome to attend any sessions being offered. 

There are 2 methods of training being provided - in class or online.  Here's a breakdown of your training options:

In Class Training 

Approver Training (Registration required through the LDS website under the Aurora category heading)
Designed for those whose main responsibility in the system will be to approve the expense claims of others and who will have others booking travel and creating expense reports on their behalf.  This is a 60 minute class.  Possible attendees are Deans, Associate Deans, Directors and Department Heads who do not do their own expense reports.

1. Claimant Training (Registration required through the LDS website under the Aurora category heading)
   Designed for all those who travel and/or claim business expenses.  This is a 3 hour class where the system will be demonstrated and key concepts highlighted.  Those who have the responsibility of approving expense reports of others do not need to also attend Approver training - the Claimant class covers how to review and approve expense reports. 

2. Unit Expert Training (Registration required)
   Designed for employees who are designated as the Integrated Travel and Expense system (Concur) experts for their department/units. Unit Experts are expected to become the support resources for their areas and are designated as such by their Faculty/Unit's Budget Officer. This is a 3 hour hands-on class in a computer lab where attendees will have considerable practise with expense claiming processes.  
   Note: Unit Experts must also attend the Claimant Training prior to coming to class!
   

3. Concur Labs (no registration required!) - Lab/Training Schedule is available on the Aurora Finance home page
   A drop-in session offered for users in faculties and units who have gone live.  We invite you to come do your first travel bookings or expense reports with in-person support to guide you along the way.
