Directions to UIC Campus

 

If you are staying with someone from the University of Chicago, please contact him/her for precise information about how to get to his/her apartment.  If you are using public transportation, you will probably take one of the following routes:

 

From the loop, catch the southbound #6 bus (“Jackson Park Express”) along State Street.  Or take the Metra Electric, southbound to University Park, from Millenium Station, and get off at the 55th-56th-57th St station.

 

From O’Hare, take the Blue Line to the Washington/Dearborn stop, then catch the southbound #6 bus (“Jackson Park Express”) at Washington & State.

 

From Midway, catch the westbound #55 bus (“Garfield Express”) at the Midway bus terminal.

Funding

 

Reimbursements for participants flying in have now (hopefully!) been finalized.  We will almost certainly have funds left over to reimburse those of you driving in.

 

If you are getting reimbursed for air travel:  Please obtain a physical receipt from the airline, reflecting your flight itinerary and total cost.  You will need this to get reimbursed.

 

If you are driving in:  We will almost certainly have funds left over to reimburse you for the standard driving expenses.  Information about getting reimbursed will be provided during the conference (on the conference schedule).  Just in case, try to save your gas receipts from the journey.

 

Reimbursements:  Instructions on how to get reimbursed (which form to fill out, where to send it and your receipts, and how to get your check mailed to you) have been sent to all conference registered participants by e-mail.  In case you did not receive the instructions, please e-mail us and we will re-send them to you.  (For security reasons, the instructions will not be posted on the website.)
