Article 49
Program for Tuition Assistance
The State agrees to continue the existing tuition assistance program using a "space available" concept. When space is available, employees may enroll in a course on a tuition-free basis subject to the following requirements:
The University determines when space is available, recognizing that such determination must be made in sufficient time to permit enrollment by employees;
Employees must meet course prerequisites;
All fees other than tuition shall be paid by employees;
Employees may enroll in a maximum of one course per semester and special session, for example, summer session and intersession;
Minimum enrollment requirements established by the University as a necessary condition for offering a course shall not be affected by students interested in enrolling in a course on a space available basis; and
The program shall continue for the term of the Agreement.
