If you cannot make the event, please cancel your registration at least a day or two in advance, so your colleagues have time to sign up.
All About EEP: Prep for Spring 2023
Friday, Dec. 2 | 2:30 – 4:30pm | Virtual via Zoom
The Employee Education Program (EEP) is an opportunity funded by university resources that enables full-time UF Academic Personnel, TEAMS employees, and USPS employees who have been employed in good standing for at least six months to receive tuition assistance for up to six credit hours of instruction per semester at the state university closest to their work location. TEAMS employees may also attend classes at a public community or state college closest to their work location. Any classes taken during a regular work shift need to be coordinated with and approved by the employee’s supervisor.
The event will feature Verlissa Ford, Education & Awards Coordinator for UF Training & Organizational Development, along with representatives from the Office of the University Registrar.
