Subject: Tuition Reimbursement
APSA and the University support the goals of enhancing opportunities for employees to acquire job specific knowledge and skills to enable them to more effectively perform their jobs and to increase their opportunities for promotion and advancement at the University.
Together, through the Joint University Association Committee (JUAC), we have been reviewing our current learning and development policies to ensure that they are in alignment with these goals. While the longer term plan is to develop a more comprehensive learning strategy, we did want to communicate an immediate change. We are clarifying, that going forward, the AD 10.10 Tuition Reimbursement Policy that provides for a maximum of $1000 per calendar year for costs related to job related learning opportunities, will be interpreted as including courses (credit and non-credit), seminars, webinars, round tables, conferences or workshops. These changes will be effective January 1, 2016.
Should you have any questions, please contact your HR Advisor or Cookie Purewal.
