Statistics

Faculty and staff travel is important for personal development, and departmental growth and visibility. Thus the Department encourages professional travel, but must do so in light of budget constraints and the need for fiscal accountability. Subject to availability of funds, the Department will strive to provide funding for professional travel to one meeting per year to those members of the department (faculty and staff) who are actively participating in, or who will otherwise accrue significant professional benefits from, the meeting and who do not have access to nondepartmental sources of funds for travel.

Henceforth, requests for departmental travel funds should be accompanied by a short explanation of the reasons for the travel including a description of the activities to be undertaken or benefits to be derived as a result of the travel.

• If you are using a 5-account (Grant Funds) to cover the travel expenses, you always need to add the grant bookkeeper, Arnita, as an approver (she needs to approve it before the department head).
• If you are using a 2-account (Departmental Funds) you need to add the department bookkeeper, Sharon, as an approver (she needs to approve it before the department head).
• If you forget...the travel request will have to be denied until the correct bookkeeper gives approval.
