Academic Affairs Standard Operating Procedures (AASOPs)

App State’s Academic Affairs Standard Operating Procedures (AASOPs) include detailed protocols, committee processes, and essential documents for faculty governance and academic excellence. Established in consultation with the Faculty Senate, Human Resources, the Office of General Counsel and the Council of Chairs, the AASOPs Review Committee (ARC) continually enhances these procedures to ensure academic quality.

Travel Resources

  • All international travel must be fully approved by Academic Affairs, Special Funds (if required), the Travel Office (if required), and the Provost (for locations with Level 3 or higher travel warnings) and back on the traveler’s dashboard prior to making any purchases. Please check your dashboard to ensure your travel is fully approved. 
  • Any of the 50 states are considered domestic travel. All other locations to include but not limited to US territories are considered international travel for the purposes of the travel policy.
  • To be eligible for reimbursement for any travel—domestic or international—all required approvals must be obtained before the traveler departs. Travelers may not make any travel-related purchases until the pre‑approval process is fully completed and approved (check your dashboard in Chrome River). Reimbursement will not be issued for any travel expenses incurred without full approval prior to departure.
  • For travel to China, Russia or Venezuela with any university-owned equipment, we are now required to file an Electronic Export Information (EEI) form through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Please contact the Research Protections office (compliance@appstate.edu) immediately if you plan any travel to these 3 countries so we can ensure that the proper information is filed prior to your travels.
