How the Employee Education Program works

Employees must follow admission and registration procedures and deadlines established by the University Senate. Be aware of fee and payment deadlines and fee assessment when courses are changed. An EEP Form (for UK employees) (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) must be turned into the Employee Benefits office, 112 Scovell Hall, 0064, by the deadline established. Please check online or with Employee Benefits for the most current EEP forms available each semester. Only one course may be taken during work hours with approval by your supervisor and department head. You must make up your missed time within the same work week, which may include taking only a half-hour lunch break or changing your starting and/or ending times. Employees of other Kentucky postsecondary institutions must use Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program Form For Non-UK Employees (requires Acrobat Reader).

Plan availability

The program is available for classes taken for credit at the University campus (including independent study classes), any of the KCTCS institutions (i.e. Community Colleges and Technical Colleges), Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky State University, Morehead State University, Northern Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University, the University of Louisville or Murray State University. The fee waiver is not available for audited, non-credit, continuing education or community education courses.

Payment of the Employee Education Program

Please be aware that the Employee Education Program waives tuition and activity fees only. Any other fees (course and/or program fees), books, or expenses related to the class are the employee's responsibility.
