(Effective July 1, 1991)
Scripps College has a tuition benefit program for full-time faculty and staff and eligible part-time faculty and staff. (See Definitions, below.) Employees become eligible for this program after one year of employment at Scripps College. The program has two benefits plans; one for employees and one for dependent children of employees.
Tuition Benefit Plan for Employees
Undergraduate Study
Full tuition payment is made for enrollment in courses and seminars offered at The Claremont Colleges or at other eligible colleges and universities, provided that such courses or seminars are not available at The Claremont Colleges. This benefit will be limited to courses leading to a degree and/or those classes which are clearly work-related. Your supervisor must approve work-related courses prior to enrollment. Normally, the College will not provide a tuition remission benefit for a second like degree. On occasion where a second degree is appropriate for career enhancement/advancement, the Dean of Faculty or President must review and approve the request.
The College will not provide employee tuition remission at another undergraduate institution for a bachelor’s degree in a major available at Scripps College.* Appeal for exception may be made to the Dean of Faculty prior to enrolling in the degree program at another institution.
The maximum entitlement is two courses per academic year including summer sessions. The tuition payment for eligible part-time employees is calculated on a pro rata basis.
Graduate Study
The College does not provide employee tuition remission for any graduate study except for classes which are clearly work-related. Appeal for exception may be made to the Dean of Faculty or President.
Tuition Benefit Plan for Dependent Children
Half tuition payment is made for dependent children of full-time employees for enrollment in an undergraduate degree program up to, but not to exceed, one half of the current tuition charge at Scripps. The tuition payment for dependent children of eligible part-time employees is calculated on a pro rata basis. The maximum entitlement for each dependent child is eight semesters, twelve quarters, or 120 units, whichever the attended institution accepts as its minimum graduation requirement.
Definitions
Eligible college or university:
An accredited institution of higher education having a regular organized body of students in attendance at the place where its educational activities are conducted. In the case of any dispute over eligibility of any specific institution, the Personnel Representative, after consulting with the Director of Admissions will forward a recommendation to the President whose decision will be binding.
Eligible part-time employee:
An employee working at least 20 hours per week at least 10 months during a calendar year or teaching 3 courses per year (50% of a full-time load).
Tuition benefit:
Charges for education excluding the cost of books, fees, supplies, room, board, etc.
Pro rata benefit for part-time employees:
A proportional benefit provided to part-time employees calculated by multiplying the benefit available to full-time employees by a fraction of which the numerator is the average number of hours worked per week and the denominator 40 hours (full-time). For faculty the calculation would be as follows: 3 courses taught would provide 50% of the full-time faculty benefit, 4 courses 66-2/3%, etc. {Note: part-time employees working fewer than 20 hours are not eligible for this benefit.}
*Employees enrolled prior to 6/30/91 at another institution will be allowed to complete their degree at that institution.
