Since
travel costs may change from the time you submit your proposal, request the standard
rate and avoid special rates to ensure adequate coverage of your travel costs.
Also consider full costs when determining hotel or room & board expenses,
especially for international travel. Currently, the University will reimburse
$30/day for subsistence costs based on actual expenses for in-state travel. And
for out-of-state travel the reimbursement rate changes from one state to other.
For more information about the out-of state reimbursement rate click on http://www.window.state.tx.us/comptrol/san/travel/out_of_state/mealrates.htm.
Personal mileage is reimbursed at $.35 per mile. In-state lodging generally is
reimbursed at $80/night. These rates may be changed by legislature. You may call

travel.
