Welcome to Fiscal Year 2026 – Important Travel Update

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 08:58:43 -0400

Happy FY26, UMBC!

As we begin a new fiscal year, the Travel Services team would like to thank you for your continued partnership and share an important reminder:

Starting today, July 1, 2025, Globetrotter is no longer available as a travel agency option in the UMBC travel system.

Any new pre-approvals submitted from this point forward should not include Globetrotter.

If you have an existing pre-approval already submitted and approved with Globetrotter, your travel will continue to be supported by them through completion.

Going forward, Altour is the approved travel agency for all UMBC business travel. You can contact Altour directly at 1 (800) 333-2115 for assistance with booking or support.

This change supports our transition to SAP Concur, our new travel and expense platform launching later this year. We’re excited to bring you a more efficient and user-friendly travel experience.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Travel Services at TravelServicesAP@umbc.edu.

Here’s to a smooth and successful FY26!
