Important Changes in the Professional Reimbursement Protocol

Hello Everyone!

I hope the semester is treating you all well. There have been a few changes in the professional reimbursement program, and I want to make sure that everyone is able to make the most of it, so here is the necessary info. To begin, for those of you new to GSLIS, or who just haven’t heard for some reason, LISSA provides professional reimbursement for currently enrolled students. You can be reimbursed for up to 50% of travel, lodging, registration fees, etc. up to $300 dollars each school year. The full information is available on WebCT (which I know is not appearing in most students’ WebCT at the moment, but we are working hard to fix that. Thanks for your patience). The important changes are these:

1) For anyone who still has professional reimbursement requests from previous semesters, they need to be in by October 15. This is very important so we can budget and keep track of how many people are taking advantage of this terrific opportunity.
2) If you suspect that you will be requesting money during the semester, contact me (Beth Crockett, ecrockett@gmail.com) just to let me know. This will also help us budget for the semester, though unanticipated requests will still be processed.
3) This is the new and particularly important point: According to the College Finance Office, there is now a time limit on submitting reimbursement requests. This includes professional reimbursements and event reimbursements for student groups. From now on the time period is 10 days from the time of the event. Be sure to submit all paperwork and original receipts to me in that time period.

I hope that many of you will take advantage of this great opportunity, and if you have any questions be sure to contact me.

Best,
Beth Crockett
