Student Travel Reimbursements

Students who present virtually or in-person at professional conferences may be reimbursed by the ITS Department up to $125 for conference-related expenses (such as registration fees, flights, and hotels).

How to submit a travel reimbursement request

Students must submit travel reimbursement requests via Chrome River within 90 days of completion of your presentation, and include electronic versions of receipts.

Before submitting the request, email daehlin@tc.columbia.edu with information about the conference that you attended and proof of your presentation, such as the section of the conference program with your name.

The maximum amount that can be claimed by any one student each year is $125. If your expenses exceed $125, be sure to enter the amount of $125 (not the amount on your receipts) in your request on Chrome River and write in the comments section that you are requesting partial reimbursement.

When prompted to enter an Index number in Chrome River, please enter 111101. For the delegate, enter Dianne Sadnytzky.
