Purpose

Study abroad phone usage guidance.

Scope

This policy applies to all faculty.

Policy

Faculty who teach study abroad courses must have phone access (in country and within the United States) when abroad. Lindenwood University will reimburse faculty members up to $50 for their standard phone expenses. However, should a true emergency occur and expenses exceed $50, then the university will reimburse the full expense of the additional costs incurred with proper documentation. Before they travel, faculty will complete necessary paperwork and receive prior approval of the expense, and after their return they will produce receipts and complete a check request in a timely manner. This would apply only to the professor who is teaching the course.
