Hotel Accommodation and Air Travel

If you are offered financial support and are not a US Citizen or Resident Alien, you must enter the country on the appropriate visa to be reimbursed for hotel and travel expenses. Similarly, if you will be on an H1-B visa at the time of the program, please let us know immediately since there are restrictions and arrangements must be made in advance with your visa sponsor.

Hotel Accommodation:
Long Program participants are awarded a housing allowance, which is stated in their invitation letter. This allowance is based on the dates of your visit. If you will be in residence for a month or more, please go to the Housing page for information on furnished apartment rentals, and email Housing to request more information and assistance. For those who will be in residence for less than a month, your letter will indicate a nightly rate and number of nights for which IPAM agrees to reimburse you. We recommend Hilgard House, as it is reasonably priced and within walking distance of IPAM. More information on hotels is available here.

Airline Travel:
Please note the following guidelines for your travel reimbursement. Federal regulations require that travelers must book and ticket their flight through a US carrier. This means that your flight must either be on a US airline, or if operated by a foreign airline the ticket must be issued by a US airline partner. Subject to this requirement, you should endeavor to obtain the best direct route, economy, round trip fare. If you are unable to find a ticket at an appropriate price, contact us before booking. Information on our policies and guidelines for visas, travel, and reimbursements is on our website. We strongly suggest you review this information as needed. Please contact our visa coordinator office for any visa related questions.

If you need assistance with your travel arrangements you can contact the UCLA Travel Office at (800) 235-UCLA or visit their website.
