Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Procedures for Receiving Support

The Procedures for Receiving Support are as follows:

  1. No later than three weeks before the activity, fill out the Application for Graduate Student Travel Support.  The Graduate Studies Committee will then review your application.
  2. If approved, you will need to submit a spend authorization in Workday.
  3. During your travel, keep a log of expenses and all original receipts (except for meals). These will be used in your expense reporting process. *Alcohol is not reimbursable
  4. After returning, you will need to submit expense reports in Workday that are linked to your spend authorization for reimbursement.
  5. If you choose to travel with your family or friends, only expenses for the OSU Employee are eligible for reimbursement, including, but not limited to airfare, lodging (with appropriate receipt), and per diem.
