As a reminder to our students, St. John’s supports student travel to conferences. The full policy appears in this document: SJC Student Travel Reimbursement Policy (1)
Details are also pasted in below. For English students, “Chairperson” refers to Dr. Sicari (sicaris@stjohns.edu).
SJC Student Travel Reimbursement Policy:
*Eligible students will receive a maximum of $500.00 reimbursement of travel expenses incurred while presenting at an approved conference or seminar. Only 1 trip is eligible per academic year and all receipts plus proof of presentation must be submitted in a timely matter. Use of the current years manual Travel Request & Expense Reimbursement Form (T&E) is required as well as adherence to University travel reimbursement policies and procedures outlined below. Failure to follow procedure will cause a delay in reimbursement because forms will be sent back to the department.
