3. Continuing part-time faculty should make individual requests to the Dean of the Faculty for funding for travel to professional conferences to deliver a paper.

4. There are two options for accounting for food costs on the travel report form: 1) submit a per diem of $39 per day without receipts, or 2) enter the exact amount for the meals on the travel report form and include the receipts. The maximum daily reimbursement for food with receipts is $75.
