Graduate Travel Procedures

Graduate students in Mathematics are eligible to apply for travel grants if they are presenting research work at a conference. After receiving approval from the Major Professor, the student can apply for a Professional Advancement Grant (PAG). This can be received once per year through the Graduate College. Forms are available from the Graduate and Professional Student Senate via the link at left. The PAG will pay $250 once per year.

The student also needs to complete the Travel Authorization Form available in Drawer D in 396 Carver. This form gives you the approval to travel on behalf of the university. The department chair will decide funding on a case-by-case basis.

Both forms need submitted to the department's travel secretary, Ellen Olson.

If department/research funds are being used to pay for the plane fare, the department can book the ticket. If you want to book your own plane ticket, you must do so over the internet and turn all receipts into Ellen immediately following the trip. You will not be reimbursed for tickets until after the trip has been completed and all receipts turned in for processing.
