The College of Architecture and Planning is committed to supporting professional development of its staff (0.75 FTE or higher). Staff members may request up to $1,000 per year. Staff members who already have a professional development budget allocated by their academic units are not eligible. Please check with your department chair or supervisor to ensure eligibility. The aim of these funds is to help defray costs of eligible expenses such as tuition for training or courses relevant to a staff member’s role, and materials or travel related to courses. The total amount of funding available for this program is $10,000 and will be disbursed on a first come first served basis. Funds provided on a reimbursement basis and subject to university limits such as incidentals and per diem.

Please submit this form at least 3 weeks prior to the requested professional development date to allow review and processing if approved.
