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

    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.
