Manager Procedures

 Carefully review App State's Tuition Reimbursement program policies, process, and procedures to ensure your actions are compliant. 

Note: The Employee Eligibility, Course Eligibility, Documentation, and Educational Leave Policies are particularly relevant to your role. 

After meeting with the employee to discuss the program/course(s) in which they wish to enroll to determine the employee meets the eligibility requirements, and the program/course is directly related to the employee's current or potential job duties in that it will maintain, enhance, or develop knowledge, skills, or abilities necessary for career development within the UNC System, or help the university achieve its mission, vision, and values. 

Obtain necessary approval for the use of available department funds to cover the reimbursement.

Upon receipt of the employee's Tuition Reimbursement Application, respond in a timely manner (e.g. within 2 business days).  Review the application, complete your portion and approve it if:

• you will approve other such requests for tuition reimbursement for employees similarly situated, in accordance with the University’s non-discrimination policy,
• the application meets the Employee Eligibility, and Course Eligibility policies, and

• enrollment in the course will not interfere with the satisfactory performance of the employee’s normal employment obligations because the course meets ONLINE or OUTSIDE the employee’s regularly scheduled work hours or the course meets DURING the employee’s regularly scheduled work hours, but either their schedule CAN be adjusted to accommodate the course meeting times or Educational Leave can be used because doing so will NOT adversely affect department operations.
