Reimbursement Policy
The Doctoral Program in Business is committed to supporting its Ph.D. students in various academic related traveling: this includes conference presentations; doctoral consortium; one recruiting trip; and program related traveling. Our priority is to support major conference travel when the doctoral student is the presenter. Ultimately, the reimbursement depends on the availability of funds and therefore we are able to support only a portion of the travel. We request students do the following if they want reimbursement for a portion of their travel:
In order to get paid, we must comply with all of the policies of the State of New York. This means that you must have original receipts such as boarding passes, taxi vouchers, etc. For conference presentation reimbursement, you must also include a copy of the conference program showing your participation.
I. For conferences:
1. Students MUST include, both Baruch College and CUNY Graduate Center affiliation when they submit their manuscripts for conferences in order to be considered for reimbursement. The Executive Officer WILL NOT approve the reimburstment if both affiliations are not included.
2. Student should first apply to the graduate center for the reimbursement. The Graduate Center may pay up to $250 for travel related expenses. Please fill out the "Application for the Student Travel and Research Fund & Ph.D. Alumni Association Dissertation Support Fund Award." This form could be obtained by going to http://www.gc.cuny.edu/admin_offices/admissions/admissions_pdfs/StudentTravel.pdf. This form should be filled out before going to the conference.
3. If you are teaching a course, or appointed on a substitute line, then you should apply to your department for support. There are funds available, to a maximum of $800 through the Dean’s office.
4. If other sources are not available to you, then you can request support from the Doctoral Program. In order for you to be considered, you must have prior approval from your area coordinator and from the Executive Officer of the Doctoral Program.
II. For Recruiting:
Students must have an extensive document indicating their proposed stream of research. The area coordinator must confirm that the student is sufficiently far enough along to be a credible candidate in the job market. The student must provide a list of the schools that they are going to interview with.
III. Doctoral Consortiums:
The Area Coordinator must recommend you for the consortium. We will provide funds, as available, up to $800 for one consortium per year per department.
