Some units use an online training system called TREQ, which stands for Travel and Requisitions. It is a pre-approval system and automatically creates UW Connect tickets after the Grant Manager or Cost Center Manager approves the budget and the faculty member, PI, or Director approves the programmatic reason for the expense.

How to submit a travel pre-authorization – Going on a trip? Get pre-approval! It can save time later! This is also the business process for requesting eFAST to use a CTA to book airfare on your behalf, as long as the travel dates do not include personal time. We can also purchase conference registration for any traveler and book lodging for students and non-UW employees through this business process.

How to submit a post-travel reimbursement request – This process may also be used for travel expenses that are incurred before the trip begins, such as airfare, registration, or lodging that is paid in advance.

How to submit a non-travel reimbursement request – You can submit a reimbursement request for non-travel business expenses in TREQ using this process.

How to submit an invoice payment request – If an invoice from a registered or non-registered supplier needs to be paid, you can submit a request to pay it through this process in TREQ.

How to submit a purchase request – This is the business process for submitting requests to make purchases for goods and services, either as requisitions or by using an eFAST ProCard.

If your unit uses TREQ but you do not have access to the system, please send an email to efast@uw.edu with a CC to your department administrator and our team will set you up.

How to add new users to TREQ – This training video is intended for eFAST employees only.
