As of May 1, 2023, there is a new procedure for processing pre-approval and reimbursement requests for any graduate student receiving a GSA travel award. This includes those students only receiving a GSA travel award as well as those who applied for and received a Psychology Department travel award as well. ALL pre-approval and reimbursement requests will be processed through Psychology.
The procedure for GSA awards will be as follows:
- The student will apply for the award through GSA.
- The pre-approval for the travel will be processed through Psychology using Fund – 1111; Dept – 10090; PFin – 011; Account: 7040300 and Amy Schneider as the approver.
- Please note that you have applied for GSA travel award in the section where you indicate the purpose of the travel.
- When the student receives the award email (or decline email) from GSA, this must be forwarded to Amy Schneider’s attention as soon as you receive it.
When submitting your reimbursement, this will process through Psychology using Fund – 1111; Dept – 10090; PFin – 011; Account: 7040300 and Amy Schneider as the approver.
The Department of Psychology will request reimbursement from the GSA for the expenses for their award.
Please let Amy Schneider (aschneid@umbc.edu) know if you have any questions about these new procedures.
