Guidelines
for Taking Courses and Applying for the Tuition Waiver Plan
The
purpose of the Tuition Waiver Plan is to help employees continue their
education so as to improve themselves and develop their careers. This
is consistent with our university's emphasis on life-long education.
This plan
is not intended to interfere in any way with satisfactory job performance.
The university waives tuition for a course during a regular semester.
Information Technology may allow job-related courses to be taken during
working hours if such arrangments can be made without interfering
with satisfactory job performance. The following guidelines are given
to achieve these purposes.
-
Permanent
full-time employees may apply for tuition waiver for a course
which is job-related and leads to career development, including
courses which are required in a degree program in which the employee
is enrolled. The employee's manager will recommend to the vice
provost or assistant vice provost whether the course should be
considered job-related. The manager may also recommend approval
for the course to be taken during working hours (up to a maximum
of three hours per week). This approval is contingent on the manager's
ability to make arrangements permitting the employee's absence
during those hours. Times which do not adversely break up the
work day are preferred. ITD reserves the right to require the
employee to make up the course time. This will only be done during
severe overload periods. Time spent in a course during working
hours will not be considered as time worked for purposes of computing
compensatory time or overtime.
-
Permanent
full-time employees may apply for Tuition Waiver for courses which
are not job-related. If approved, these courses are to be taken
on the employee's own time.
Persons applying
for Tuition
Waiver should fill out the form, get their supervisor's signature,
and have the form signed by the vice provost or assistant vice provost.
