If a course is not ever offered at UWG or another University System of Georgia institution, the employee may attend a regionally accredited private institution or Department of Technical and Adult Education institution within the State of Georgia and be reimbursed. An employee will be reimbursed for courses taken at a private institution within the State of Georgia if such courses or their equivalent are not available at a University System of Georgia or a Department of Technical and Adult Education institution within 70 miles of the State University of West Georgia.
