General
Information
NWHSU
is committed to investing in its employees through continued
education and training. If employees are considering attending
a class, they should discuss it with their supervisor or
manager in advance. In order to receive reimbursement,
all classes must be directly related to their current position
or must directly enhance the employee's potential for advancement.
Approval will be determined on a case-by-case basis. For
graded courses, employees must receive a grade of "C" or
better in order to receive reimbursement.
Those employees eligible for reimbursement must be
regular full time or part time (3/4 time or more) employment.
Reimbursement will be 100% of the tuition for approved
courses (not to exceed the cost of courses at state
community colleges for undergraduate courses or the
University of Minnesota for graduate courses) for full-time
employees. Additional financial aid received, such as
Veteran's benefits, grants or scholarships must be reported
and will be used to offset the reimbursement provided
by NWHSU. A maximum of twelve (12) credit hours will
be reimbursed each academic year. Fees, books and other
supplies are non-reimbursable.
Employees
who wish to pursue additional training and/or development
must complete an Application
for Educational Assistance form and give this
form to their manager prior to beginning the course.
The course must be pre-approved to be eligible for
reimbursement. After the employee and supervisor have signed
the form, it should be forwarded to Human
Resources.
Upon
completion of the class, the employee must submit the original
grade slip and fee payment receipt to Human Resources who
will process their request for reimbursement.
Employer provided educational
assistance will be taxed according to applicable federal and
state laws.
