Dear Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that the University has finalized a revised Travel Policy that will become effective on 2/1/26.  

This revision includes several important and impactful changes that all employees should review carefully. 

All University employees who travel on behalf of the University are expected to review and comply with the revised policy and procedures. 

The updated policy and procedures, along with a summary of changes, are available here: Revised University Travel Policies and Procedures

To ensure clarity, understanding and help with compliance, we are in the process of arranging virtual meetings to communicate the changes to our travel policies and procedures, as well as to address any questions you may have regarding these updates. Please check www.travel.uconn.edu for future updates.  In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance understanding the revisions, please contact the travel office at travel@uconn.edu. 

In July 2023, Procurement introduced an exception review process in HuskyBuy to ensure that purchases of software using the ProCard were reviewed by Procurement and IT Security.

To further improve efficiency and transparency, effective immediately, a newly designed software pre-review process will now occur in Kuali Build instead of HuskyBuy.

What’s Changing?

• The Kuali Build form replaces the HuskyBuy ProCard exception form for software and cloud service purchases.
• This process applies only when:
  • The supplier will not/refuses to register in HuskyBuy and/or
  • The supplier will not/refuses to accept a UConn Purchase Order.
• The standard process for purchasing software and cloud services remains through the Software and IT Service non-catalog requisition form in HuskyBuy, unless the above exceptions apply.

Benefits of the New Process

• Using Kuali Build streamlines the lengthy review process that previously existed in HuskyBuy, reducing delays.
• The new form improves communication with distributed IT units supporting various departments by informing them of purchasing activity.
• The new form requires primary software users to review and attest to understanding UConn IT policies, ensuring compliance and awareness.

PLEASE NOTE: Any in process forms already in HuskyBuy must be completed in HuskyBuy.  However, new forms, effective today must be completed in Kuali Build.
