Reimbursement of instructional fees and tuition:

Campus policy provides for the possibility that, with appropriate pre-approval, academic staff with halftime or greater appointments may be reimbursed for instructional fees and tuition related to authorized job-related or career-related training or coursework. Academic staff are encouraged to contact their supervisors and human resource staff for more information, particularly because the availability of funds for this purpose can vary across campus units.
