Professional Development Reimbursement/Waiver

Employees required to attend college credit courses continuing education unit courses, seminars, or certification tests will be reimbursed for expenses incurred except for fees that are not course related or required. Employees will not be reimbursed for related expenses covered by financial aid of any kind.  Employees must earn a passing grade of “C” or its equivalent or obtain a certification to receive any reimbursement. Expenses must be validated by receipts, and a copy of the final grade card or certification must be presented to show hours or certification received.  

Tuition, fees, and digital course materials will be waived for instructors who have been conditionally hired with the expectation of completing the requisite Baccalaureate degree (technical faculty) and are completing these courses at State Tech.  If courses are not completed at State Tech, the instructor will complete them at their own expense.
