Frequently Asked Questions
Is the campus sponsoring professional travel by faculty and staff during the COVID-19 response?

No. All campus-sponsored travel for state business has been cancelled through June 30, 2020, the end of the fiscal year, as part of the College’s practice of safe social distancing and in light of CDC guidance.  

We continue to urge all campus community members to limit non-essential travel and carefully consider any travel plans.

Employees who wish to appeal this policy for travel related to state business should submit appeals to their supervisors and the appropriate vice president for evaluation.
