The University has negotiated contracts for chartering of buses. The bus company will bill individual departments directly. The department audits the invoice, places a label on the invoice, and forwards to Disbursement Services for payment. International travelers may be reimbursed up to the per diem amount used by the State Department for federal employees in effect at the time of travel as listed in the Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances For Foreign Areas. Rates are adjusted monthly to seasonal pricing and monetary exchange rate fluctuations.
Reimbursement depends on availability of funds within the department and the source of funding.
When the traveler claims State Department per diem, the University does NOT require receipts. Vehicle insurance expenses are reimbursed to international travelers. You may want to check the State Department Advisory for information about the destination country. You might also want to check the Center for Disease Control. See Appendix A .
