Partial reimbursement is considered only if the department head approves and the course is job-related and of value to the employee and the University. Electives which are part of a degree program are permitted with the department head's approval. The credit limit for reimbursement is one 3-credit course per semester or a maximum combination of 4 credits per semester. The limit per fiscal year is 9 credits.
