About the Sessional Lecturer Professional Development Reimbursement

In the interest of creating opportunities for teachers to learn new skills and develop new pedagogical methods that enrich the undergraduate learning experience, the University provides a Professional Development Reimbursement Fund for use by Sessional Lecturers. The purpose of this fund is to offset costs to the Sessional Lecturer to participate in academic conferences/seminars or to purchase materials in support of their professional/academic development. Sessional Lecturers are entitled to a maximum of $500.00 per semester in which they work. PDR details are outlined in the CUPE 3913 Unit 2 Collective Agreement.

In the event of a discrepancy between this page and the Collective Agreement, the Collective Agreement shall be considered the final authority.
