Tuition assistance available for employee development
To be eligible, employees must be appointed in a regular position for 50 percent time or more and must have been employed one year at the University. Tuition assistance for up to four hours of course work per semester is allowed.
While taking course work, employees must remain employed and available for regularly scheduled work hours unless modifications to their schedules are authorized by their departments. Those who leave University employment within three years of completing the class may have to reimburse the University for all or part of the assistance.
Faculty and staff members wishing to participate should request permission from their departmental executive officers. Funding for the program ordinarily comes from the source that supports the faculty or staff member’s salary. Correspondence class costs will be reimbursed after course work is completed.
A limited fund has been established to provide aid for those whose salaries are supported by the General Education Fund or by grants that do not permit such expenditures. Departmental executive officers may request support from this fund by sending a completed Faculty/Staff Tuition Assistance Program application to Staff Development, 121-51 USB. Staff members and departments requesting assistance from this fund must return completed applications for the 2001 spring semester by Nov. 1.
Application forms are available on Staff Development’s web site, www.uiowa.edu/~fusstfdv/, or from the Office of Staff Development, 121-51 USB. For more information, call (33)5-2901 or (33)5-2687. Semester application deadlines are: Nov. 1 (spring); April 1 (summer); and July 20 (fall).
