Reimbursement policy Please be advised that according to U.S. immigration laws, individuals who enter the U.S. and wish to be reimbursed for travel related expenses should enter only on a B-1, WB or J-1 visa (WT and B-2 visa do not permit reimbursement of any expenses). Individuals who enter via automobile from Canada or Mexico should enter on a J-visa. Entering on a Visa Waiver is discouraged due to concerns as to how the new law will be interpreted. Canadian visitors are not required to have an I-94 when entering the country.

NSF funds can be used for reimbursement of air fare only if a U.S. flag carrier has been used.

Upon arriving, please see Ms. Geneva Shilliday in the math office for the necessary forms to be filled out and returned prior to your departure. We will need all original receipts for any expenses for which reimbursement is claimed.
