The College of Arts and Sciences provides travel funds to support faculty who report the results of their creative activity by reading a paper or presenting a poster at one or more meetings or who are on the program of a conference or meeting because they are chairing a panel, serving as a discussant, or have helped to organize the conference or meeting.
- Support will be limited to $600 for the fiscal year for any one faculty member (including professors of practice and state-funded research professors).
- Full time lecturers, senior lecturers, state-funded postdocs, and state-funded visiting assistant professors may apply but support will be limited to $300 for the fiscal year.
In order to be eligible for CAS support for conference travel, you must file your application prior to your travel. Applications for this fiscal year will be accepted any time prior to June 1, 2027.

The Dean’s Office will continue to process faculty travel using the same guidelines followed in the prior fiscal year. The departments are not provided with a cost center to use for expense reimbursements. Instead, the Dean’s Office initiates a budget transfer or journal entry to reimburse the departments based on the quarter in which the travel will take place. As a result, travel allotments can only be used in the fiscal year in which the travel will occur. Airline tickets purchased in advance will not be reimbursed to the department until the fiscal year in which the travel occurs.
Funding for the College Travel Policy may be limited due to budget constraints.
