Professional Activities (Short-Term, Leave)

Application Forms:

Important note: There are two parts to the application -- the online application that the Professional Activities committee will review and the Travel and Expense form required by College Finance to process payments. The Travel and Expense form must be completed even if you do not need to travel to attend your conference. Below you will find links to both the online application as well as the college's Travel and Expense form.

Your department Administrative Coordinator may have hardcopies of this form as well. Do not worry about the "FOAP" or the "Department Budget Administrator" signature unless your department will cover some of the cost. We will take care of that part after your application has been approved.
