You do not need to submitfor reimbursement if you are not the one paying for the item. Your friend will submit receipts and the proper documentation to be reimbursed for the purchases for themselves and for you. Your friend should email me at nicoleholt2@montana.edu to let me know about the purchasing arrangements you have made ahead of time. 

Submit for reimbursement once you have returned from your trip. We will not process any forms for reimbursement prior to an event. 

Yes, you may use this form tosubmit for reimbursement for lodging during your clinical rotations.

We do not want ability to pay to be a barrier to participation. Please email me at nicoleholt2@montana.edu so we can discuss options – this will never be a reason that someone cannot participate!
