Q: I'm taking a leave of absence to study abroad.  Does this policy apply to me?

A: No.  Students who are taking an official leave of absence from Vanderbilt in order to participate in a non-Vanderbilt study abroad program are not subject to this policy. 

Q: I'm a PhD student attending a professional conference.  Does the policy apply to me?

A: If you are using any funding (i.e. travel award or your mentor's research funding) from Vanderbilt to support your travel to the conference, or if you are required by your department to attend the conference, the policy applies. If you are attending the conference using your own funds, you are not subject to the policy.  If you are unsure, please contact VIO.
