Travel Authorization Procedure
Faculty Development funds must be expended within one year of the date of the award letter. The Travel Authorization form must be completed at least two weeks prior to domestic travel and three weeks prior to international travel. (If the travel is in-state or one day in duration and no airfare and/or subsistence applies, you do not have to complete this form. If the travel is in-state but requires an overnight stay, you do have to complete this form.)
All expenditures of Faculty Development funds are subject to UNCSA Foundation Spending Policies (PDF). If you have any questions about the policy or the forms, please contact the Teaching and Learning Center at 336-726-6961. The Foundation Travel Authorization form (Excel) can be found on the Foundation Forms web page.
