What courses at the undergraduate level are eligible for tuition assistance and do they have to be related to their current position?
University staff members who do not already hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent can use the University of Iowa tuition assistance program to obtain one. All undergraduate courses that are part of an undergraduate degree program are considered work-related and therefore eligible for assistance for those participants who currently do not hold an undergraduate degree. We strongly encourage all supervisors to support this perspective. Individual departments will need to look at additional issues such as work coverage to determine whether it is appropriate to grant flex or vacation time for individuals to attend classes during normal work hours.
