Prospective job duties are duties, or position, that an employee may be reasonable able to attain at a future date. These duties must be in alignment with current department functions. 

Example:  An employee working as an Administrative Assistant in the College of Science may have prospective duties that involve accounting, grant management or grant writing.  This employee could seek a degree that would increase their competency in any of these prospective duties.

The Plan provides for reimbursement of resident tuition only (with the exception of statutory tuition at then current rate) following successful completion of graduate or undergraduate coursework and submission of required forms and supporting documents. Fees and other non-tuition charges are not eligible for reimbursement.  Additional information on tuition and fees is available through Student Financial Services.

You must maintain Successful Academic Progress (SAP) for all credit hours requested under the plan.

The employee is eligible to receive reimbursement only for courses in which he/she received a grade of at least:

• “C” (2.0 grade points) or higher for undergraduate courses;
• “B” (3.0 grade points) or higher for graduate courses.

In order to continue to be eligible under the Plan the employee must meet the following standards of requirements:

1.   Maintain a GPA of:

2.5 as an undergraduate student
3.0 as a graduate student; and

2.   Receive a final grade for each course. An employee is not eligible for reimbursement or to continue participating in the Plan if the employee has a grade of “Incomplete” or “Withdrawal”.

The supervisor only approves individual classes if the employee is a not seeking a specific degree. 

If the employee is seeking a degree, and the degree is related to the current or prospective job duties, than the supervisor is approving the program as a whole. 

Example: Employee is seeking a job related Bachelor's degree in Accounting.  Part of the requirements of this degree may be to take a general science class.  The degree is approved as work related, therefore the class may be covered by the ETAP.

The same is true for classes taken during the normal work hours. 

In this scenario the agreement would end on February 2019 or 6 months following the program completion date.
