PSC Travel funds are part of our tax levy base budget. We distribute to Division Heads and Deans based on staff counts. The budgets are all under Program Code 20048.
Division Heads and Deans need to work with the Departments they oversee to strategically utilize the funds. The PSC Travel funds are intended to support faculty and other PSC staff in advancing their professional knowledge, skills, and networks through activities such as:
- Presenting at or attending academic or professional conferences
- Participating in workshops, trainings, or certifications
- Visiting peer institutions or collaborative research sites
- Engaging in leadership or pedagogical development
Tax Levy PSC Travel Fund support can fully or partially fund the employee’s travel. There also may be other funds the PSC has available. Employees need to apply for those funds separately.
CUNY policy requires that all travel needs to be pre-approved in CUNYfirst. This should be done at least 2 weeks before the start of the travel. There are multiple approvals so additional time may be needed. These are the guidelines that must be followed:

The PSC also offers additional funding directly through them. These are the links for that information:
