Find out how to book travel for non-employees through Connexxus travel agencies. Because non-employees on university business travel can't access the Connexxus Web portal, UCSD employees use Connexxus to book travel for them.

In the right place? To book travel for an employee, see Setting Up a Connexxus Traveler Profile.

Before booking travel, preauthorize the trip to receive an event number.
