Every effort will be made to accommodate each employe's desire for appropriate employe development within funding, scheduling and other limitations. Represented employes should refer to their collective bargaining agreement for reimbursement allowances and release time. The employe must receive advance authorization for tuition reimbursement before enrolling in a job or career-related course. While completing the course is not an employment requirement, successful completion is a requirement for reimbursement. The proposed study will help an employe progress in a related career path.
Funding exists to cover the cost of tuition reimbursement.
An individual must still be employed by the University at the time of completion of the course of study to be eligible for reimbursement. Course work usually is completed during hours of leave without pay or on the employe's own time, although adjustment of hours or the use of accrued compensatory time or annual leave may be arranged if the supervisor or chairperson can certify that the work of the unit will not be impaired as a result.
