Employees Registering as Students
1. GENERAL
Tarleton employees may register for as many courses as they desire after their
normal working hours. University employees are eligible also to register
for courses conducted during normal working hours, subject to the Department
Head’s approval, and following the provisions as outlined in
Section 2.
2. REQUIREMENTS TO ENROLL IN COURSES DURING WORK HOURS
2.1 Any budgeted employee is eligible to request permission to register as a student at Tarleton and attend classes held during the employee’s normal working hours. The course load must not exceed four credit hours in any semester or summer session unless an exception is granted under (Section 2.2).
2.2 An employee may be permitted to enroll in more than four credit hours per semester or summer session in courses that meet during normal working hours provided a concise written justification is approved by the appropriate Vice President.
2.3 Class attendance must not interfere in any way with the accomplishment of duties or the work of the department or unit.
2.4 Time off from the regular work week to attend classes depends on satisfactory arrangements being made before registration in accordance with university procedures. This may be accomplished by making up the time or taking available vacation or compensatory time with the Department Head’s approval.

class hours.
