To allow time for the Office of Professional Development to review the application, and for the Purchasing Department to make arrangements for payment, we have set the following funding request deadlines:
- For any request that involves air travel, employees seeking Professional Development
funds should submit an application at least one month prior to the event.
- For any PD request that does not require air travel, the proposal must be submitted
at least three weeks before the event.
Purchasing Arrangements
Please note the following about approved conference travel requests
- Conference registration should be handled by Melanie Ellis in the Office of Professional Development
- PD funding can also be used towards travel expenses, although flight arrangements should be made by the applicant using the college's CONCUR system
- Hotel expenses and arrangements are the responsibility of the applicant's department. PD funding currently does not cover these costs.
- Reimbursement forms for meals & gas accrued during conference travel should be forwarded to Melanie Ellis for review and Peter Shea's signature.
