Procedures for College Payment of Employee/Future Retiree Enrollment Fees. The purpose of the program is to promote staff development and opportunities for continued education while at the same time maximizing class productivity/income. This program will continue on an indefinite basis, but will only be available in semesters when the College is below its state funded cap.
1. The program will be available to any permanent full or part-time employee who is a member of SEIU 1021 or to any future retiree from the College who was a member of this unit.
2. Eligible classes will include Credit courses only.
3. It is understood that employees will attend classes only during normal off-duty periods. Any exceptions must be in accordance with union contract provisions and a note, indicating immediate supervisor’s approval, must be attached to the Application for Employee Class Fee Payment.
4. A Credit Application for Admission must also be completed if the employee has not been enrolled in the past 12 months.
5. Prior to Census Date, the employee must bring to Admissions, or send through campus mail, an Application for Employee Class Fee Payment (available in Admissions) together with appropriate enrollment forms and fees, if applicable.
6. The program will include College payment of the $12 per unit enrollment fee and a waiver of the student representation fee and health fee. Employee/retiree students will be responsible for any materials fees plus the cost of books and supplies. (Non-resident tuition will not be paid.)
7. Employee/retiree students must stay enrolled through the Census Date of the class.
8. Employee/retiree students are subject to the same academic standards, rules and regulations affecting all other students at the College.
9. An employee/retiree student grated College payment in any one semester will not be eligible for the College payment or the waivers in the following semester if the employee/retiree student fails to successfully complete the class (if the program is offered again).
10. If an employee/retiree student was granted College payment and waivers for any one semester and wishes to reapply for the following semester, he/she should register, and once the grades for the previous semester are in, the College will verify successful completion of the course(s).
