Reimbursable activities for SCIE258

Dickinson will be paying directly for all the required academic events listed on the course schedule. In addition, each SCIE258 student will have a budget for further "reimbursable activities." This means that Dickinson will reimburse you in cash for entrance fees and other direct costs associated with activities you choose to pursue in London or Bristol, subject to a few conditions:

The total amount of reimbursed costs must not exceed 70 pounds.
Receipts must be submitted for all reimbursements.
Reimbursable activities must have some intellectual content or cultural significance, but they do not need to have a direct link to the topic of our course. Activities that are primarily entertainment are not reimbursable. Examples: touring St. Paul's Cathedral or the Houses of Parliament is reimbursable; the London Eye is not reimbursable. Sports events, musicals, concerts, plays, ballet, and opera are not eligible, but tours of venues, including sports venues, are eligible. Check with the instructor if you're unsure.

I encourage you to be creative in spending your reimbursable activity budget. Pursue your own interests, whatever they may be! But, if you want some suggestions, here are a few: Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum, Anaesthesia Heritage Centre, Bethlem, Clockmakers' Museum, Florence Nightingale Museum, Freud Museum, Grant Museum, Guildhall, Houses of Parliament, Imperial war museum, Museum of London (Docklands site--the City site is on our required schedule), Roman Baths (in Bath), St Paul's Cathedral, St. Bart's Hospital Museum, Tate Gallery, Tate Modern, Thames boat trip (go west from Westminster, since we go from Greenwich to Westminster as a scheduled activity), Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, any of the guided walks offered by London Walks (highly recommended!). Also check out the Humanities course schedule and see if any of their activities might interest you.

Reimbursements will take place at the end of each classroom session, and at certain other times to be announced. Write your name on each receipt. When you give me your receipts, I will immediately reimburse you.
