The Office of the Provost supports and encourages faculty and student participation in conferences and meetings. Faculty and students may apply for supplemental funding for travel to conferences or programs that are beyond the budget limitations of deans and department chairs. In order to be eligible, faculty or students must be a participant on the program, not merely an attendee.
Requests to the Provost & VPAA should be made only after all other funding options have been explored. It is expected that the deans and department chairs make a deliberate effort to support funding requests in accordance with academic priorities prior to forwarding requests for funds to the Provost & VPAA.
