II. ENROLLMENT INFORMATION Enrollment information on eligible employees and other personnel enrolled on a space-available basis shall be maintained separately from other enrollment information and shall not be included in official enrollment reports, nor shall persons enrolled pursuant to the provisions of this section be considered in any enrollment statistics which would affect budgetary determinations. Computation of enrollment levels, student-faculty ratios, or other similar enrollment-related statistics must exclude student credit hours generated by enrollments for which waivers have been granted under this procedure.

B. Participating eligible employees should check with the Enrollment Services Office for the required registration dates.

At a minimum, they need to obtain employment verification from their Human Resources Office. They must also pay fees as described in section VII of this policy.
V. GUARANTEED ENROLLMENT Employees wishing to guarantee enrollment in a course must enroll and pay full tuition. Employees guaranteeing enrollment may not drop the course for subsequent enrollment on a space-available basis.
VI.

Employees shall be granted released time only if the course is recommended by the employee's supervisor as a means of improving work experience or achieving unique requirements of their particular position. Employees who are allowed to take other classes during working hours are expected to rearrange work schedules with approval from the supervisor in order to complete a normal workday during this time. Supervisors of eligible classified employees whose work schedules are changed to accommodate classes must notify Human Resources to ensure compliance with classified work schedule rules and document schedule changes, as necessary.
