=====HOW TO GET HERE=====

• **By car.** Search for [[https://goo.gl/maps/rYon3mXzdDewLSts7|UCSB Parking Lot 10]] on your maps app and follow directions. In order to park in this lot, you will need to purchase a parking permit for each day you park. There are Parking Pay Stations on the 1st and 2nd floors where you can purchase the permit.

You will need to complete a [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kxQ1uXD_3xQ8JZFJpIAc26xmnNx9IcIF/view                    |Guest Traveler Domestic Worksheet]] listing all your travel expenses.  Please itemize your expenses and meals in a [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vesQ4C76rwxgkNCYCuK4K4Kt0gSBlUY30tvmfArRTRA/edit?gid=0#gid=0|                   spreadsheet]].  There is a maximum of $92 per day for meals, and we will only cover expenses for your meals (no other travelers or entertainment expenses).  We do not require receipts for items under $75.00 but we recommend that you keep all receipts to accurately complete the worksheet. 

The maximum allowable nightly lodging rate is $333.  

Detailed receipts with a breakdown of expenses and showing confirmation of payment are required for all expenses (hotel, airfare, car rental). 

If you book a "package” that includes airfare and hotel (not recommended by UC), at booking, confirm they will provide the necessary detailed information so you have the proper documentation for reimbursement. 

If you book an AirBnB, make sure they break out the cost and taxes per night.  

All information will be submitted to Debbie Kleinpeter at <BP-admin@cnsi.ucsb.edu> with attached separate PDF receipts for each expense (hotel, airfare, car rental and any other expenses over $75) along with the [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kxQ1uXD_3xQ8JZFJpIAc26xmnNx9IcIF/view|Guest Traveler Domestic Worksheet]].
