Continuing Education for Employees
The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education encourages its employees to pursue a program of continuing education.
All employees employed on at least a half-time basis are eligible for tuition waivers as provided under SBHE Policy 820 and may be allowed release time from their regular duties for the purpose of enrolling in one academic class per school session. Release time shall be granted so long as it does not interfere with the essential work of the institution.
This education program is subject to the following:
- The employee must obtain initial approval from their supervisor or department head and final approval from the designated administrative official appointed by the president.
- Release time may be granted only for the amount of time required to attend the regular class session. Field trips and outside activities are not included.
- The employee shall not pay tuition and the student government activity fee and university/college fee for the class taken for credit or audit. (See SBHE Policy 820.4)
- The tuition waiver is limited to no more than three academic classes per calendar year.
