Professional Development Upload Instructions

Follow the steps below to 1) prepare your documentation upload file and then 2) upload it into the Google form.

1. Prepare your documentation upload. 

You will need to find the required documentation and either:

  • Print hard copies that you will scan into ONE file for upload OR
  • Save electronic copies to your Google drive or desktop that you will combine into ONE file for upload.

What do we mean by "required documentation"? 4 items: 

  1. Course description including dates, time, location, price, indication of graduate credits (if applicable) and syllabus (IF available) OR workshop/conference brochure including location, price, dates, and time and agenda (IF available)
    • Click to see an upload sample.
    • This documentation MUST be authored by the college/workshop sponsor.
      • This means that copying and pasting from a vendor/college website into your personal Google doc is NOT acceptable.
    • Do NOT provide website links or links to your personal Google Drive. Links can break. 
    • Auditors require the documentation.
  2. Travel (Google map/airline quote), if applicable
  3. Lodging quote, if applicable
  4. Related expenses (e.g., cab, Uber, subway fare)

Name the UPLOAD file as follows: last name_first name_title of course/workshop/conference
