Tracking Your Tuition Remission Spending

CODED FOR TRACKING:
When you register for classes at UNMCE, you register with a course number and a section code.
The section code may look funny but it gives you a lot of information:
WIA-PD= Winter Class, Section “A”, Professional Development Tuition Remission Allotment
WIA-PE= Winter Class, Section “B”, Personal Enrichment Tuition Remission Allotment
WIA-HF= Winter Class, Section “C”, Health & Fitness Tuition Remission Allotment
UNMCE offers classes on an ongoing quarterly basis from the traditional semesters that main campus uses. However UNM HR will continue to use their schedule as outlined in UNM Policy 3700 to calculate Tuition Remission usage: Fall Tuition Remission is used for classes scheduled to start between August 1 through December 31. Spring Tuition Remission is used for classes scheduled to start between January 1 through May 31. Summer Tuition Remission is used for classes scheduled to start between June 1 through July 31.

UNM Retirees

UNM Retirees will remain eligible for unlimited academic and Professional Development courses, subject to the provisions of University Policy 3700.

Note: UNM Retirees may register for UNM Continuing Education classes by phone or in person. Please call 505-277-0077 or visit registration at 1634 University Blvd. NE to register.

Spouses, domestic partners & dependent children

Spouses, domestic partners and dependent children are not eligible for tuition remission on any UNM Continuing Education classes.

Supervisory Approval

Supervisory approval is required if any of the following apply:

• A non-credit professional development course taken during the employee's work schedule that is related to the employee's job or a UNM job that the employee can reasonably aspire to (approval is to authorize absence from work and approve an alternate work schedule); or
• A non-credit health and fitness course taken during the employee's work schedule (approval is to authorize the absence from work and to approve an alternate work schedule).

Supervisor's signature will be obtained on the UNM Tuition Remission form.

Policy Revision - UPA 3700: Effective September 1, 2015 Personal Enrichment and Health & Fitness benefits were combined to allow employees greater flexibility in how they use these benefits. Tuition Remission can only be used to pay for tuition, differential tuition, and mandatory student fees. This does not include course fees, books, supplies, or exams.
