Funding for Longitudinal Program Travel

For those of you who have preceptors/assignments off campus, there is funding set aside for travel reimbursement. 
(You are eligible to request funding at the end of each quarter.)

If you drive your own car to an off-campus location for your LP assignment, you are eligible for “Private Car Mileage” reimbursement.  Additionally, we will reimburse for tolls and CTA/Metra if you take public transportation.
(As a note, we do not reimburse for parking, cabs or ubers.)

We have developed the process below so that we can confirm the dates and provide appropriate “back-up” documentation for the University’s Procurement and Payment office.  Reimbursement requests must be submitted within 30 days of the end of the quarter.
