Per Diem and Lodging Rates
NOTE: The following rates apply only to travel within the contiguous U.S. If you are planning to travel out of the country or to Hawaii or Alaska, please read and follow the instructions on Out-of-Country Travel.
The Commonwealth, not UMW, establishes per diem and lodging rates using a standard rate with a city-by-city exception rate. There are two rate tables: one for "in state" and the other for "out of state" destinations. If the tables do not list your SPECIFIC destination, use the "standard" rate found on the first line of the appropriate table.
Northern Virginia areas are listed on the "out of state" table as part of the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Click the link below based upon your date(s) of travel. Depending on your travel dates, you may need to refer to multiple links. For example, if your dates of travel began September 30, 2009 and extended through October 1, 2009, you would use the appropriate table for EACH date listed.
october 1, 2009 to present
OCTOBER 1, 2008 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
To reduce your chances of incurring out-of-pocket expenses, carefully read the Per Diem and Lodging policies available on the right side of this page BEFORE you travel. Please also read the section Reimbursement Process for Travel Expenses BEFORE seeking reimbursement.
