Relocation and Moving Allowance for New Faculty
Full-Time Faculty
New full-time faculty may be eligible for one-time, lump-sum payment from the Office of the Provost for transition assistance connected with moving to the Washington area. Transition assistance eligibility may vary by school, with the maximum amount authorized based on the faculty member's rank as follows:
- Professor and Associate Professor: $4,500
- Assistant Professor and Instructor: $3,000
Visiting Faculty
A faculty member on a temporary one-year appointment may be eligible for either the relocation payment. No transition assistance is available to part-time faculty or to full-time faculty appointed for one semester.
Request your Reimbursement
To request your reimbursement allowance from the Office of the Provost, please email Gary Stoddard, Administrative Associate (gstod
gwu [dot] edu (gstod[at]gwu[dot]edu)), and attach a copy of your appointment letter along with any corresponding evidence that shows you relocated from outside the DC area (e.g., moving company/van rental receipt, old utility bill/lease, copy of drivers license with old address, etc.).
Once all relevant information has been collected and processed, a lump-sum payment will be submitted for the faculty member to be dispersed at the end of the month in their normal paycheck.
Transition assistance will be processed after the full-time appointment begins and after the I-9 has been submitted and verified.
Please note that due to changes in the tax laws (Spring 2018) all relocation expense reimbursements must be seen as taxable income.
