Guidelines for Directors Travel Support

Faculty who hold a director position in the School of Arts and Sciences are eligible for but not guaranteed annual travel support. Support of travel will be considered if 1) the director is making a presentation at a professional conference on a topic that is relevant to his/her responsibilities for the School and 2) if attendance at the conference or travel is important to the continuing improvement of the director, is relevant to his/her job responsibilities and will directly benefit our students.

Requests for travel must be made in writing and must include a justification for the travel. The request must also include the dates of travel and an estimated budget for the trip. Requests for support must be made prior to travel in order for reimbursement of expenses to be considered.

Requests for travel support must be approved by the director's department chair and then forwarded to the Associate Dean for Program Development for final approval.

Additionally, directors must follow the travel policies set out in the department travel guidelines.
