Educational Leave and Fee Waivers. Any permanent employee who works at least three-quarter time (.75 FTE) during the entire period of enrollment is entitled to a waiver or partial waiver of certain fees in accordance with campus policy and may take any number of courses provided the employee is academically qualified. When a course which an employee desires to take is only offered when the employee is regularly scheduled to work, the employee must obtain advance approval from the supervisor, and may take either vacation leave or leave without pay for all hours absent from the regular work schedule, or make up the time absent from work. Employees are encouraged to further their education, and approval by the supervisor for the employee to take a course may not be arbitrarily or capriciously withheld. When attendance at courses or workshops is required by the employer, the cost of the course or workshop shall be borne by the employer.
