Travel Authorization for Professional Development

To secure Professional Development (PD) funding for travel, please complete the following steps:

  • Fill out the Travel Form
    Complete all required sections.

  • Manager Approval Required
    Your manager must sign the travel form before submission to confirm eligibility for PD funding.

  • Attach Necessary Documentation
    Submit the completed travel form, conference description/agenda, and necessary cost estimate forms to the Professional Development office.

  • Review SBCCD Administrative Procedure 7400
    Familiarize yourself with SBCCD Administrative Procedure 7400, which outlines guidelines and requirements for travel requests. Following these standards is essential for a smooth approval process.

  • Wait for Final Approval
    Do not charge any expenses until you receive final approval from Professional Development.
