How to make claims

Once the application has been approved, students may ask the Executive Assistant to make bookings on their behalf.

For any expenditure not paid for in advance, students can:

EITHER ask for a travel advance. This is where funds are put into a bank account by completing a payment request form.
Failure to acquit this advance within one month of return, or to refund the advance in full or in part if so required, may result in the School being charged payroll tax and the applicant being unable to receive any further travel advances.

OR students pay for expenditure personally and claim a refund when they return.

Upon their return, students need to submit receipts for reimbursement.
Claims under $10 do not require receipts, however, a missing document declaration will need to be completed.
