Great News!
The State has provided some money to fund professional development
activities during 2008-2009 for faculty, classified employees, and
administrators. After a great deal of discussion, the Professional
Development Committee has defined some parameters to guide us as we
consider applications for this funding.
Should you desire funding for a professional development activity
(training session, conference attendance, colloquium travel, etc.),
you may apply to the committee for funding support. In an effort to
be fair to all, given a limited budget, the following guidelines
have been established:
Full time employees: Up to $500/request/fiscal
year
Part time employees: Up to $250/request/fiscal
year
- In order to
apply for these funds, please submit to your dean/supervisor a
completed Request for Attendance at Off-Campus Activity form
(see link below) along with a copy of the conference or training
schedule or some other formal notification of the event.
- This paperwork must be submitted
to your dean/supervisor at least 3 weeks prior to the event in order to assure
sufficient time to go through the approval process.
- When you
submit the form, be sure to check "yes"
for the question that asks, “Is this a Staff Development
Activity?”
- Once your dean/supervisor has approved the activity,
the packet will be sent forward to the Staff Development Committee
for review.
- Retroactive requests will
NOT be considered
Funding is not guaranteed, therefore, we recommend
that you wait for a notice of approval before you proceed with
personal financial commitment.
Other Possible Funding Sources.
There are other sources that may help defray some or all costs.
For Example, mileage to and from a conference, is reimbursable through
the Cuyamaca College Business Office, and technology related
conferences may be funded through TTIP or Title III
