Staff Development & Performance Management: Request

Requests are reviewed using the guidelines below, and should be submitted at least three weeks prior to the date of need using this request form.
Applications are considered based upon the following criteria (1 = highest priority):

- Request provides clearly defined professional growth opportunity for individual as it relates to his/her career path at the university.
- Request provides clearly defined personal growth opportunity for individual within the framework of his/her life circumstances. (Request furthers individual's ability to cope with personal circumstances.)
