POLICY
STATEMENT #2
TUITION PRIVILEGES FOR CERTAIN FACULTY AND STAFF
SECTION
1: UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA POLICY
The
Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina
has enacted a policy and the President of the University
has issued administrative regulations governing the waiver of tuition
and fees for certain faculty and staff members within
the University of North Carolina. The policy and
regulations permit a constituent institution to waive
tuition and fees for such faculty and staff members
for up to three courses per year, at the discretion
of the constituent institution.
SECTION
2: UNC CHARLOTTE POLICY
The
following Board of Trustees policy incorporates the
definitions and limitations in the policy and regulations
referenced in Section 1 above:
Eligible
faculty and staff members employed by The University
of North Carolina at Charlotte shall have tuition
and fees waived for up to three UNC Charlotte for-credit
academic courses for any one-year period measured
from the first day of classes for the fall semester.
Not more than two of the three courses permitted each
year may be taken during either the fall semester
or the spring semester, and not more than one of the
three courses may be taken during the summer instructional
period (first summer session, second summer session,
and other periods of instruction falling between spring
commencement and the first day of classes for the
following fall semester). For any such course to
be approved:
- the
applicant must meet Board of Governors employment
and eligibility requirements which currently stipulates
participation is limited to permanent employees who
are regularly scheduled to work 30 hours or more each
week, 9 months of the year or longer,
-
the
applicant must be academically eligible to enroll
in the pertinent course and there must be space
available in the course,
-
the employee’s department chair or department head
must certify that such enrollment will not interfere
with satisfactory performance of normal employment
obligations, and
-
the
employee must continue his or her permanent employment
status for the entire semester during which the
course is taken, and is required to complete the
full schedule of normal work obligations. Upon
termination or other changes in employment status,
which would make the employee ineligible under this
policy or the Board of Governor’s Policy or Regulations,
the employee will be billed for the tuition and
fees for the entire semester unless he or she has
officially withdrawn from the class within the time
frame designated by the University.
While
summer school courses for academic credit are eligible
for tuition waiver, no other for-credit or not-for-credit
courses that are receipt-supported are eligible for
such waiver without the advance written approval of
the Provost.
UNC
Charlotte faculty and staff members seeking to enroll
in courses at campuses other than UNC Charlotte are
advised that certain UNC system campuses may not waive
tuition and fees for summer session courses. Faculty
and staff members’ eligibility for tuition privileges
are subject to the rules of the individual institutions.
SECTION
3: IMPLEMENTATION
The
Chancellor is authorized to issue regulations
to implement this Policy Statement.
