We are fortunate in that, each fiscal year, the college administration has set aside funds for the purpose of professionally developing their faculty and staff. The dollar amounts and processes for requesting funds may vary depending on whether you are Classified or Faculty. Forms to complete vary depending on purpose.
Professional development funds can be used for:
- Conferences, Workshops, Webinars
- Organizational Memberships
- Courses for Credit and Non-Credit
All conference, workshop, webinar and membership request must be completed using the following Request for Payment form. All documentation including approvals must be submitted to Naomi Riddick no later than 15 days of the registration deadline. Special circumstances will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the AVP for Libraries.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN APPLYING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT WILL BE USED FOR COURSES (CREDIT/NON-CREDIT).
- Prior to enrollment, the employee will complete and submit to his/her supervisor the appropriate forms as outlined in the HR instruction documents.
- The supervisor and Cabinet member will review the request for enrollment. Once the employee’s supervisor and Cabinet member approve the request, it will be submitted to the Office of Human Resources Manager (Employee Training & Development Manager). Applications are NOT considered approved until the employee receives notification from HR or appropriate funds manager.
- To avoid delays in processing, make sure all verifying documentation is attached prior to submission.
