22.12. Professional Travel Expenses
The College encourages professional development of faculty resulting from attending meetings of professional societies, seminars, etc. and will provide financial support as funds are available.
Professional
travel having prior authorization by the faculty Dean or Division Chair and the
Vice President for Academic Affairs, will be reimbursed according to the
College's Travel Policy. A Travel Expense Report, available through the
Business Office, is required in order to receive reimbursement. Internal
Revenue Service regulations are very explicit regarding documentary evidence
such as receipts, paid bills, canceled checks, etc., from any expenditure for
lodging or travel away from home regardless of the amount.
All Travel
Expense Reports of faculty require the signature of the faculty who traveled,
his/her Dean or Division Chair and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. See Travel Policy on the
College's computer system (J:drive).
