The District provides a travel allowance of $400 to each full-time faculty member for work-related travel, such as conferences, conventions, meetings, seminars, etc. The Faculty Development Committee may grant additional funds according to the following formula:
- $300 if you are a presenter
- $250 if you are not a presenter
Adjunct faculty may also apply for travel funds.
- $150 if you are a presenter
- $125 if you are not a presenter
It should be noted that all faculty travel requests must be accompanied by a signed travel authorization form, and is contingent upon the approval of your supervisors and the president.
How to apply for funds:
- Fill out a travel authorization form (available from your department secretary). Be sure to also fill out the yellow Staff Development form. Attach copies of any supporting documents (such as program descriptions or registration forms). Keep copies for yourself of everything.
- Get the necessary signatures - associate dean/dean and vice-president (the president signs after your form has been through staff development). Don't make non-refundable reservations or buy tickets until your request has been approved, unless you are prepared to pay for your expenses yourself.
- After you receive your authorization, make your reservations and go. Have a great time, and keep your receipts!
- Very important - fill out an expense voucher report and submit one copy to accounts payable and one copy to the Staff Development secretary, within two weeks after you return (keep a copy for yourself). You will not be reimbursed if you do not submit an expense report, and your allocated funds will be returned to the faculty development budget for someone else to use.
