Miscellaneous Expenses

 
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.
