You may look up your balance from the "Professional Activities" page of the FPD website (see "Step Two"). Once you click on the link, enter your L Number, using a capital "L." If this does not work for some reason, please contact Leah Smith at smithl@lanecc.edu.
The balance is "rotating," meaning that it is renewed each year with the amount of funds you spent three years earlier.
However, remember that this money is "theoretical" - not actual. This means that its availability is on a term to term basis...we have approximately $36,000 per term to spend on activities for all faculty. So the main idea is "early bird gets the worm" or "first come, first served," in the sense that the money could possibly run out for any given term.
Applications must be submitted before an event takes place. If you already attended the conference, it is too late to apply.
When you receive your award letter, it will contain instructions on what to do. Please be sure that you read the entire letter and follow all the instructions. Not following the instructions can delay your reimbursement.
If you have more questions, please contact Faculty Professional Development Coordinator Aryn Bartley at bartleya@lanecc.edu.
