Conducting Conferences, Seminars, Institutes, Workshops and Extra-Budget Programs

An important mission of the University is to provide intellectual leadership to the state of North Carolina and the Southeast by sponsoring conferences, seminars, institutes and workshops on important issues and topics. Departments are encouraged to initiate these activities in collaboration with the Office of Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs, which can provide logistical and administrative support. These activities, including administrative services provided by the University through the Office of Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs, are funded entirely from participant fees, grants and contracts. Faculty members interested in planning conferences, seminars, institutes and workshops should first receive the endorsement of their department chairpersons or deans, and then contact the Office of Continuing Education, Extension, and Summer Programs (207 King, 704-687-2424). The official University policies, Policy Statement #4, “University Extension and Continuing Education Activities” and Policy Statement #36, “Operation of Vehicles on University Business,” can be found at www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-4.html, and www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-36.html, respectively.
