2025 - 2026 Travel Fund Pool  

 

Conference Request Steps 

Travel Pool requests will be indicated in your Chrome River travel request. Chrome River is the application in which all employee travel requests must be requested.

 

  • Fill out Pre- Approval Request in your Chrome River Account before travel and before any spending on travel (in Work Life tab on your portal).
  • Indicate in Chrome River comments you are asking for Travel Pool Funds.
  • In Chrome River, please indicate the dates from submission to completion of activity (not just dates of conference).
  • In the Allocations- choose Academic Senate FOAP.
  • Complete Fund Approval Form and send to Gigi Fiumerodo at mtfiumerodo@vcccd.edu. Once returned with amount awarded, attach form to your Chrome River Request in the portal app.
  • If attending Virtual Conference, Pre-approval is not necessary, select “Expense” report.

Conference Request Tips

  • Dean/Supervisor pre-approval is required to ensure activity is allowable and approved.
  • Travel Pool Funding and the travel approval are two separate steps.
  • Faculty may request funds once each academic year.
  • Please note: funds are for conferences and conference travel. The Travel Pool Fund cannot fund courses, workshops, or training. Thank you.
