UVA Employee Graduate Admission & Funding

Application Process

1. Employees must submit an “Enrollment and Funding for Employees” application form. Consideration of application forms will begin no earlier than one month prior to the start of the term. Application forms must be received before the end of the drop/add period of the term to be considered.
2. Upon approval for the School of Education and Human Development Education Benefit, employees must be enrolled in the course by the School of Education and Human Development of Education. Submission of the application form will constitute both a request to be manually enrolled in the course(s) desired and a request for education benefit funds to reduce tuition owed to $450 per credit hour. If employees have self-enrolled prior to submitting the form, they can remain in the courses; if they have not, the School of Education and Human Development will enroll them.
3. If funding and enrollment are approved, the employee will receive an email with the approved funding amount, the name and mnemonic of the approved course(s), and worktag to use for the education benefit submission. Upon receipt of this email, the employee should submit his/her request for education benefits through Workday using the worktag provided in the confirmation email.
4. The employee will receive the funds in his/her paycheck and should use those funds to pay charges in the Student Information System. Please note that employees must remit payment for the full cost of course tuition in SIS, using a combination of the School of Education and Human Development education benefits, University education benefits, department education benefits, or their own funds.
