Financial Support

Procedures

The steps necessary to apply for and receive financial support are the following.

1. E-mail an application message to cenzer@ufl.edu. The message should contain: your name and affiliation, the time and focus of your visit, and in the case of graduate students we must receive a brief recommendation letter, typically from your advisor. If you are an invited speaker, you can skip this step.
2. Once you are approved for support, download the Visitor Information Form (pdf), fill it out and send it immediately to our secretary (see below). The Visitor Information Form should reach Margaret a minimum of 10 days before your arrival; she cannot pre-authorize reimbursement (required prior to your arrival), book a room for you or arrange for a car rental until she has put you in the university reimbursement system using the information from this form. You can only be reimbursed for up to the amount pre-authorized.

3. Receipts are required for reimbursement for all items except (1) meals, (2) direct billed lodging, (3) direct billed car rental. Make sure Margaret gets your receipts and is kept informed about your expenses.
4. To have your support include car rental, Margaret must issue and mail an ACTO to you. The State of Florida will only reimburse for a compact car and will not cover the additional insurance. To issue an ACTO requires a minimum of one week after Margaret receives the following information: name, address, pickup site, date of pickup, return site, return date. The time for you to receive it after it has been mailed depends on your location, but the whole process typically takes a minimum of two weeks.
5. After you arrive, you must stop by Margaret's office (Little Hall 358) to sign the necessary expense form. If you want to be reimbursed on the spot, you must be ready to surrender the originals of your receipts at that time. Otherwise, you send Margaret your receipts after your return and she will send you the reimbursement check.
