Subject: Request for Approval to Attend CEUG 2025
Dear <Manager>,
I am writing to request approval to attend the Canadian Ellucian User Group (CEUG) 2025 Conference, being held in Ottawa from October 14–16, 2025.
CEUG is a nationally recognized, user-driven conference that brings together professionals from Canadian colleges, universities, and polytechnics who use Ellucian products like Banner and Colleague. The event is known for its practical, peer-led sessions, timely product updates, vendor engagement opportunities, and collaborative atmosphere.
Attending this conference will provide direct value to my role at <Institution Name>. The sessions cover a wide range of topics that align closely with our current initiatives and challenges—from technical implementations and system optimization to process improvements and strategic planning. I’ll also be able to learn from other institutions’ experiences, gain early insight into upcoming Ellucian features, and discover practical solutions that could enhance our systems and services.
In addition, the conference facilitates meaningful networking with peers across the country who are navigating similar systems and institutional goals. These connections can be invaluable for problem-solving, benchmarking, and exploring new ideas.
The registration fee is a worthwhile investment in professional development and continuous improvement. I am confident that what I learn at CEUG 2025 will translate into actionable insights and efficiencies that benefit our team and the broader institution.
Thank you for considering this request. I am happy to provide a detailed itinerary or estimated costs if needed.
Best regards,
<Your Name>
