Classified staff members who are employed at least half-time (.50 FTE) are eligible for the Classified Grant-in-Aid Program. With prior approval, tuition can be pre-paid when Classified employees enroll in a for-credit course that is either job-related and improves current job performance or degree-related and will apply towards the completion of a degree. Non-credit courses, workshops, seminars, and conferences are excluded from the program. In addition, courses at institutions other than CSN, UNLV and NSC are excluded from the program.
If the employee should withdraw, audit, receive a grade of less than "C" in an undergraduate course ("B" if graduate) or terminate employment at CSN prior to completion of approved training, the employee will be required to reimburse all of the approved fees. The Human Resources Office will coordinate with the CSN Cashier's Office and/or the UNLV Registrar's Office to obtain final grade information. The Employee authorizes CSN, UNLV, and NSC to release final grades to the Human Resources office.
Please contact the Human Resources office at 651-5800 if you have additional questions.
