Employee Education Program
The Employee Education Program, or EEP, is an opportunity funded by university resources that enables full-time UF Academic Personnel, TEAMS employees, and USPS employees who have been employed 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. TEAMS employees may also attend classes at a public community college closest to their work.

As a result of budget reductions, the Employee Education Program has eliminated participation at schools other than UF or sfc for students located in Gainesville. The university has agreed to allow employees who are currently enrolled in degree programs on other campuses (those students who enrolled, registered, and participated in the EEP prior to Summer 2008) to complete their program using EEP funding for a period not to exceed three years beginning in Fall 2008 unless there are budgetary changes that have implications for the EEP. Any new requests for exceptions to the EEP policy regarding enrollment at other campuses will not be accepted at this time. |
Note: The EEP is simply the process by which employees may obtain assistance in paying for coursework. EEP participants must review the program policy, eligibility criteria, and registration guidelines. The EEP application process does not replace the University of Florida admissions or registration process. Any employee interested in participating should review the institution's admissions policies and procedures in order to ensure proper enrollment for courses.
The University of Florida encourages all employees to pursue professional development in a variety of ways and the Employee Education Program is just one of the opportunities provided to help employees accomplish their educational goals.
