John Jay College supports the professional development of our faculty via conferences and workshops and encourages faculty members to present at these events. At the discretion of Department Chairs, travel funds may also be used for travel related to research.
All faculty members must apply for approval to their Department Chairs PRIOR to travel.
These webpages contain guidelines, policies and procedures related to the reimbursement of faculty travel in the US and abroad. This includes support materials travelers must submit along with their travel reimbursement voucher as well as links to forms and checklists.
Department Chairs have the discretion to fund some or all of your trip. The approved amount will be noted on the signed TAF that is emailed back to you.
