| While traveling, you will spend
money for things other than your airfare, conference registration,
lodging, meals, and car rental. The University reimburses you for some of
these miscellaneous expenses and for others it does not. It's usually best
to be aware of what is and is not reimbursable before you spend your money
and run the risk of discovering that the University, by law, cannot repay
you. Before you travel, check with
your department, review the lists below, and contact the Travel Account
Specialist (ext 3541 or email
tsale@isugw.indstate.edu)
if you have particular concerns about extra expenses.
