Student Travel Guidelines
The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) is pleased to offer one-time, limited financial support for research that meets specific criteria.
We are generally able to cover expenses that can be paid for upfront, including:
- Conference registration fees
- Flight and hotel accommodations (one night)
- Poster printing or creation
For any other types of expenses, please consult with OSA prior to making any purchases to confirm eligibility.
Travel Guidelines:
- We only provide funding support for original research conducted at The University of Toledo. Research completed at external institutions is not eligible.
- All travel requests must be made no less than thirty (30) days before the travel date.
- Indirect requests will not be considered. All requests must be submitted individually by the person(s) seeking travel support.
- Only one student per poster is eligible for travel support.
- We do not fund research that is: case studies, case series, literature reviews, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses.
- Misrepresenting the nature of your research to receive travel funding will result in a professionalism violation.
- You must contact OSA before making any purchases. Expenses incurred without prior approval will not be eligible for reimbursement.
Non-eligibility Factors:
- Leave of absence (including academic leave, personal leave, not enrolled in UTCOMLS courses, etc.)
- Poor academic standing
- Unapproved Absence
- Prior use of OSA Travel Support
As a reminder: students who would like support for travel for conferences can contact Jaxon House by email.
When you send the email, please include the following information:
- Documentation of the approved absence for the dates you need to travel
- Documentation that your abstract/poster was accepted by the conference
- A letter of good academic standing. The form to request a letter can be found here.
