We have an improved process for UMD Employees traveling within Maryland and the D.C. Metropolitan area allowing even faster reimbursements!

After requesting ELF Access, In-State Travelers can go into the system and create their Expense Statements electronically. The form is then sent through the ELF system to the "Smart Center" (Group Name). The Smart Center checks the form to ensure that it is consistent with University, state, and federal guidelines. After any necessary corrections are made the form is sent for final approval to a department representative. - That's it.

The entire process is electronic, no paperwork. If you are interested please contact the Smart Center to receive quick training and access.
