Coming September 2022: new user interface for Concur 

On September 12th, Concur will introduce a new user interface for travel requests and expense reports.  The new streamlined layout will result in a more efficient user experience. Existing functionality will remain unchanged. 

Want a sneak peek at the new layout? Several 30-minute informational sessions have been scheduled for August and September. Quick reference guides (QRGs) have been developed to assist with the transition. 

For questions regarding the new Concur user interface, contact Melody Stark at the NU Travel Office: melody.stark@nebraska.edu or traveloffice@nebraska.edu
