Please follow the guidance below before booking travel:

• Per diem is a daily limit that is allowed to be spent on lodging and meals based on location. (See per diem rates.). Note that lodging at one of the official workshop hotels meets per diem requirements.

• We cannot reimburse costs associated with personal travel and/or other business-related trips that may be adjacent to this trip. If you have a unique travel situation, please contact us in advance for guidance.
• Per UW travel reimbursement policies, travelers are generally reimbursed allowable expenses arriving one day before the start of official business and leaving one day after official business has ended. (June 23-26 in this instance.) If personal time is added to your trip, we strongly recommend that at the time of purchase, you create and save a flight comparison showing business dates only. Please know that whichever is lower will be reimbursed. Lodging and/or other costs associated with any personal time, destinations, or items will not be reimbursed.
• Please save all receipts and the itemized final hotel folio for the reimbursement process.
• Bundled packages are not recommended as itemized receipts are required!
• Please see non-reimbursable examples.
• Reimbursement is processed after the trip and may take approximately 2-3 weeks. Please use this form to submit your request.
