Egencia Travel Guidelines

Please read this entire page for a clear understanding of how you should use the Egencia on-line site to make your travel arrangements.

When am I eligible to utilize the online travel service that Egencia provides for SCA?

Your SCA contact will notify you when you are eligible for SCA-paid travel to/from training and/or to/from your program site.

When is the best time to book my travel on-line with Egencia?

We suggest booking your travel on-line Monday through Friday, 8:30am-5pm (until 3pm is best on Friday) EST, as soon as possible after selection. This will enable your supervisor to approve your itinerary quickly and help keep down the cost of your ticket.

How do I pay for my travel?

If you have been authorized to log-on to the Egencia website, SCA has made previous arrangements to pay for your air travel.

If SCA is paying for this travel, then they will also pay the associated booking fee. If you are paying for all or a portion of your travel to/from your site, (again, as outlined by your SCA contact), then you should use your own credit card for payment. Any reimbursement (if applicable) would be made after the travel expense has been submitted to SCA. If you are paying for your travel, then you will be responsible for paying the associated booking fee.

If you decline your Internship position after SCA has purchased your round trip travel, you may be required to return funds expended on your behalf.
