Non-Contiguous U.S. and International Meal Per Diem Rates
The University follows the Meal and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) per diem rates established by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense for non-contiguous U.S. and international locations.
The University does not use external lodging per diem rates, and instead has a standard nightly lodging rate of $300, regardless of location.
Non-employees are not eligible to receive per diems. For information on reimbursing non-employees, please see the Non-Employee Expense Reimbursement page.
