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.
