Our current education assistance policy has been revised to include adjunct faculty, and their immediate family members, to take advantage of our tuition reimbursement policy. The revised policy that will be updated in the employee handbook will be revised as follows. The changes are in bold:
Core Requirements
AHED will waive the tuition for all eligible full-time/part-time, regular employees and their immediate* family members who wish to take classes at any of the AHED campuses providing they meet the eligibility requirements. AHED will not reimburse for fees, books and/or supplies. AHED will waive 50% of the tuition for all eligible adjunct employees and their immediate family members who wish to take classes at any of the AHED campuses providing they meet the eligibility requirements. AHED will not reimburse for fees, books and/or supplies.
*An immediate family member is defined as husband, wife, natural or adoptive parents, child, or sibling; stepchild, stepbrother or stepsister; father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother- in-law or sister-in-law; grandparent or grandchild.
If an employee or qualifying family member takes on-line courses, he/she is responsible for the technology fee. (Please check the catalog for the current fee charged.)
Eligibility
All regular, full-time employees are eligible to participate in this program after a certain timeline has been met. Full-time employees must be employed by the Company for 6 consecutive months; Part-time must have been employed by the Company for 12 consecutive months; adjunct employees must have taught courses more than two terms in a 12-month period. Terms are defined by the individual campuses and terms can be 5, 10 weeks, 12 weeks or 15 weeks.
Employees are eligible to take a maximum of two courses per term. Employees and Family members of employees are subject to the policies/procedures of the current college catalog and will receive no special treatment because of the affiliation with the Company.
There are no other changes to the policy in the employee handbook and the remaining part of the policy is in effect. This change will retroactive to the effective date of 1/1/16. Please reach out to your supervisor and/or myself if you have any questions regarding the above policy change.
