Course Approval and Tuition Reimbursement

Any Unit A instructional staff who would like to take graduate level courses must complete a course approval form and upload the appropriate syllabus in the Frontline Learning Management System.  Each course must be approved by your immediate supervisor and central office staff prior to registering for the course.

 

All online courses must follow the process noted above as well as meet the expectations on the Graduate Course Approval Rubric.  Part of the rubric requires that staff complete the Statement of Purpose section on the Frontline approval form.  If a staff member would like to take a complete certificate or other program in an online format, they will need to request approval from the superintendent with the syllabi for courses attached to the email request.

 

All staff members interested in a program must request permission from the superintendent prior to registering for any program.

All coursework must be approved in writing by your immediate supervisor and central office staff prior to taking the course, and a grade of "B" or better must be obtained to be entitled to reimbursement.
