Student/Group Travel

Group Leader

All group travel should have a group leader. Group leaders can be an employee or student. While traveling, all members of the group should be resonsible for collecting expense receipts and giving them to the group leader. At the conclusion of the trip, the group leader should have all receipts for reimbursable expenses in order to complete the Travel Expense Claim. Any advance or reimbursement issued for the group's expenses will be paid to the group leader, who will then distribute the appropriate funds to the members of the group.

A conference agenda or meeting itinerary is required to be submitted with all travel claims.

If using IRA funds, please see important information from  Academic Resources
