Guidelines

• Preference will be given to requests that contribute to the University's Strategic Plan.
  

• Preference will be given to requests that are likely to benefit a large number of staff employees. One example of this type of request would involve a participant who, upon completion of the training project, would offer the training to others.
  

• Preference will be given to requests which are received at least 45 days prior to the proposed training. Requests received with less than a 45 day notice may not receive a timely response.
  

• Supervisors must sign the Funding Request Form, indicating their commitment to the proposed training and the time that it may take in order for a request to be considered favorably by the committee.
  

• The following normally will NOT be recommended for funding by the University Staff Development Committee:
  

  1. membership fees or organization dues;

  2. conferences,

  3. travel expenses;

  4. mandatory training, including training to meet externally-mandated skills, skills required for one's current job classification, skills required to preserve safe working conditions, and skills needed to forestall liability or other risk within the administrative unit.
