University Approved Training Courses One of the great privileges of being an employee at SLU is the ability to take University courses with the financial assistance of the Employee Fee Waiver, which pays a large majority of tuition after a full-time employee has been employed for two consecutive years. To further this assistance,the University Approved Training Course Program allows an employee to take a class during the workday without being responsible for making up the work time. The approved classes are considered part of the Employee Training Program and are prepared based on EEO classifications. Only one class may be taken during normal working hours whether or not the class is on the approved list and must be approved by the supervisor prior to registration in the class. Classes are grouped into the following EEO categories.
