Additional Funding Request

As the name implies, this form is to request funds to cover costs that cannot be borne by departmental resources. These circumstances may include events such as a faculty member going out on FMLA, a course that is full and has a waiting list large enough to fill a whole additional section, or graders to expand the size of a section.

The process for requesting funds is as follows:

1. Explore all available options at the departmental level. Please contact the CLAS Finance Team (clasfin@pdx.edu) if you need assistance with this analysis.
2. Can resources from under-enrolled courses be re-directed?
3. Could the course be increased in size and put in a larger room?
4. Are there other courses available to students to meet their need/requirement?
5. Does the department have the financial resources to support the additional costs?
6. If, after doing the above analysis, the department does not appear to have the resources to cover the costs, then fill out (below) and submit.
7. The Dean's Office will review the request and make a determination.
8. The department will be notified of the decision and should proceed (or not) as directed.
