Pre-arrival tasks list is here.
Default schedule: plan to arrive on May 26, depart on August 2.
By air: work out your detailed itinerary to Bozeman (BZN) airport and its cost, and send, by email, this information to your travel coordinator, who will confirm the itinerary and the amount we will pay (the least expensive economy/coach round-trip airfare from your home or university to Bozeman on the default arrival and departure dates). If you have other plans rather than flying a round-trip on default travel dates, you need to present the default round-trip ticket price and your ticket price, and the program will reimburse you for the lower price of the two itineraries. {\bf Also note that we are not allowed to pay for any kind of seat reservation or upgrade.} If you purchase a seat reservation or upgrade, you will be asked to pay it on your own. You will purchase the ticket only after receiving this confirmation e-mail from the travel coordinator to authorize the reimbursement. The reimbursement will be issued after your arrival at Bozeman. For reimbursement, you should provide:
(1) your receipt and itinerary;
(2) the boarding pass;
(3) receipt of one piece of check-in baggage;
So please make sure you keep these documents and submit upon your arrival.
By car: if you plan to drive, you will be reimbursed for mileage ($0.67/mile up to 1000 miles, $0.64/mile thereafter) on the basis of the distance from your home or university to Bozeman. However, the total reimbursement cannot exceed the price of the round-trip airfare from your home or university to Bozeman on the default travel dates. Please send an email to the travel coordinator with the distance (print-out of the travel route from the google map, or the like), who will work with you to confirm the amount of your travel reimbursement.
