Conferences/Professional Development

Registration fees related to conferences and professional development may be paid to the vendor in advance from College funds by registering and paying with a College credit card or by submitting a check request to the business office accompanied by the original registration application. If the costs of a conference or professional development are charged directly to a Federal award, the costs must be reasonable, and the following documentation must be included with the check request:

• Justification that participation of the individual is necessary to the Federal award
• Conference Agenda

THIS POLICY DOES NOT APPLY IF EXPENSES ARE RELATED TO APPROVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED AND PAID BY EMPLOYEE PRIOR TO REIMBURSEMENT
