Funding and Time Release Resources for Professional Activities

The UCI Libraries support the professional activities of employees by providing funding.

» Process for Requesting Funding

• To request funding support, use the web-based Professional Activities Form
• See a list of your approvals for activities for the fiscal year here
• For recurring System wide activities (e.g. series of committee meetings)
  • submit the Professional Activities Form only once to obtain "blanket" approval for funding for all of the specific events required by the assignment
  • when submitting receipts for reimbursement for a specific event, include proof of that event (e.g. an e-mail from the chair stating the date and location of the meeting)
