Student travel reimbursement policy update

Please note the following clarification to the PCP student reimbursement travel policy "Unless otherwise approved by the PCP Dean’s office, only the following expenses will be reimbursed: Travel (air/train), meeting registration and hotel accommodations and only up to the total amount approved. All receipts must be in the student name. Do not split hotel accommodation or other expenses by paying each other." This means that all hotels bills must be split and put on individual student credit cards - all hotels will do this. The full travel policy can be found on the PCP Student Google site.
