Traveling on University Business
Graduate students can be reimbursed for travel expenses up to $150 if his/her trip meets specific criteria. All requests for travel reimbursement must be directed to and approved by the Director of Graduate Studies. The travel reimbursement form (top bin) is pretty straight-forward and needs to be completed within 30 days of return from your trip. Original receipts are required for all expenses of $25 or more. You can prepay your airfare but you cannot be reimbursed for it until you return and complete a travel expense worksheet. Sign and return your completed form to the accountant.
Disbursements usually processes payment within ten to fourteen days from the date of submission. If you travel by automobile, the University will reimburse you for vehicle rental and fuel or reimburse you at the current published rate per mile. You cannot be reimbursed for both.
