Faculty Travel and Professional Development

Faculty members recognize and accept their responsibility for meeting classes during officially scheduled times. In cases where a faculty member has to miss one or more classes because of travel, the faculty member must inform the academic officers prior to finalizing travel plans. 

Pre-Travel Approval Process:

Please submit the Pre-Travel Request form* (below) at least one month prior to your travel. You will need to secure approval before making travel arrangements.

Additional support for faculty travel may be requested on an as-needed basis if special circumstances arise. Requests may be made to the academic officers by email. Funds that are not used in a given academic year may not carry forward.

The relevant Penn State policies governing the use of Penn State funds can be found at the General University Reference Utility (GURU).  Faculty should become familiar with all University policies governing travel, prior to submitting a request. 

  • Travel Tools 
  • Travel Policy TR02
  • International Travel and Travel Safety Network
  • Purchasing Card Allowable Charges
