What are the policies?

For Fall 2009, $1700.40 / .FTE is available for the semester. (UNM Retirees enjoy unlimited Tuition Remission!)

You may apply the full amount towards the Business and Technology programs and courses. A supervisor's signature is required on the tuition remission form for all Business and Technology classes if the class meets during work hours.
A supervisor’s signature is required for classes taken during your regular work schedule; (approval is to authorize the absence from work and to approve an alternate work schedule or annual leave.)
$425.10 per calendar year in addition to professional development allotment may be used towards courses offered through the Personal Enrichment Program, which includes Story of New Mexico and Osher courses.
Story of New Mexico courses are subject to the Personal Enrichment Program limitations. In addition, please note there is a limit per Field Trip of $65 per day trip, or $50 per any trip which includes one or more overnight stays. (The cumulative total available of tuition remission to use for multiple field trips comes out of the Personal Enrichment allotment of $425.10 per calendar year. This allotment also applies to Personal Enrichment and Osher courses, so the amount available to use for Story classes will be reduced by other uses of this allotment.)
You may also apply the Personal Enrichment allotment of $425.10 per calendar year towards Osher classes. The amount available to use for Osher classes will be reduced by other uses of this allotment. (Note: Osher membership fees are not eligible for Tuition Remission.) * Supervisory approval is not required when an employee takes a class that takes place outside of his/her regular work schedule and is not work related. These classes would then be subject to the Personal Development / Enrichment limit on the amount that may be applied per year.
Tuition remission may not be applied towards materials, book or food fees payable directly to the instructor, usually at the first class session. If a course has this fee, it is posted in the course description. Note: Business & Technology classes typically include any books used for the course.
Youth Courses are not eligible for Tuition Remission.
