Travel Expense Reimbursements

This section applies to AAC&U-funded participants ONLY. If you are unsure if you are AAC&U- or Institution-funded, please contact Michèle Leaman (leaman@aacu.org).

Meals will be reimbursed only after receipts have been submitted with the AAC&U travel expense reimbursement form and only under the
following guidelines:

1. Meals consumed during travel to and from the Summer Institute will be reimbursed up to $15 for lunch and up to $25 for
dinner. This is not a per diem expense and receipts must be submitted.

2. Meals not provided by AAC&U during the Institute will be reimbursed up to $15 for lunch and up to $25 for dinner. This includes lunch on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday; as well as dinner on Wednesday and Thursday. This is not a per diem system, and all receipts must be submitted, even if amount on the receipt exceeds the amount eligible for reimbursement.

3. Meals consumed in Portland before or after the official Institute, and not while traveling, will NOT be reimbursed. For example, if Jane Smith travels to the Summer Institute on Monday, July 21 her meals during travel on Monday will be
covered by AAC&U, but those on Tuesday before the Institute will not be covered.

Reminder: Although there are limits on the amount that AAC&U will reimburse for each eligible meal, AAC&U DOES NOT operate on a per diem basis. Please keep all your receipts for submission with the AAC&U travel expense
reimbursement form.

Any questions about AAC&U-funded reimbursements should be directed to Michèle Leaman ( leaman@aacu.org).
