Travel Support

The department has some funds available for student travel to professional conferences. In order to receive these funds, students must submit a pre-travel authorization form before taking the trip.

Some items might be pre-paid by the department. These items may include conference registration fees or airline tickets. Any pre-paid items need to be handled by Beth Raines in PT 201G.

Any expenses that you pay out-of-pocket can only be reimbursed after the conference is over. These expenses might include

• Hotel costs (Need a receipt showing 0$ balance)
• Airfare, if not pre-paid (Need a receipt showing 0$ balance)
• Transportation (for driving trips, provide a beginning and ending address; for taxis provide a receipt)
• Food (no receipts needed, as this is paid on a per diem basis)

Claims must be submitted to Peggy Morris in Cox 518C within two weeks of completing the travel.

Travel funds are also available through the University Graduate Student Association.
