CLASSIFIED/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND APPLICATION GUIDELINES

 

Application Deadlines:

 

     Friday, November 3, 2006, 4:00 pm.  If your activity/program occurs before this deadline, the Committee has agreed to review early applications.  In this case, please submit your application as soon as possible noting the actual dates for which you are applying.

 

     Friday, February 2, 2007, 4:00 p.m.

 

     Friday, April 27, 2007, 4:00 p.m.

 

Guidelines:

 

     The program or activity must provide professional development opportunities.

     Programs that duplicate on-campus programming will not be funded.[1]

     Applications for programs that occur during routine office hours require supervisory approval.

     Funds may not be used to subsidize office coverage while the staff member attends the program.

     Both classified and professional staff recipients are expected to submit a brief activity report to the Committee.  The report should include an overview and evaluation of the program.  The activity reports and all accompanying expense reports must be submitted within 30 days of the conference/activity.  Subsequent applications will not be considered if the reimbursement form or the report is missing or incomplete.

     The maximum award for a program/activity is $500; there will be a minimum of $2500.00 available for classified staff and $2500.00 available for professional staff.

     This fund is available to all staff members in the College of Arts and Sciences, so the request to fund the same or similar conference for more than two years consecutively will not be funded.
