- If you don't get reimbursed through our insurance program, please submit through the Reimbursement system and provide documentation of the denial
- Domestic trips are not covered under UC’s travel insurance program
- Cost of airfare if you receive a credit towards future travel
- If possible, please wait until after the future trip to submit your reimbursement request
- If you have a financial need or are unsure if you are going to travel on business before the credit expires, you can submit for reimbursement immediately
- Hotel or other lodging charges and/or cancellation fees
- Conference registration fees
- Other ordinary and necessary business expenses that have not been refunded
- For individuals who are not UC Berkeley faculty or staff, these reimbursement requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
