Time off to attend and register for approved courses may be allowed only when such courses cannot reasonably be taken outside of the employee s scheduled working hours. Employees subject to nonresident tuition are not eligible for the two-thirds reimbursement of course fees. Courses can be taken at any accredited state college or university. The employee should submit a Tuition Reimbursement form for approval before enrollment. Reimbursement will be allowed when the employee has submitted to the Employee Development and Training Unit proof of payment and successful completion of the course in accordance with the system of grading used for semester or quarter unit courses.
Reimbursement covers only course fees.
Employees must pay application fees, textbook costs, and late fees. A career employee who meets the admission requirements of the University of California and who is not subject to nonresident tuition is eligible for a two-thirds reduction of both the University of California Registration Fee and the University Educational Fee.

Fee refunds for withdrawal are allowed under the same procedures as for regular students. Enrollment must be approved by the employee's supervisor, department head, and the Employee Development and Training Office on the Laboratory s Tuition Reimbursement Form.
