EEAP Guidelines

Admission
Employees must apply for admission to Winthrop University and fulfill all requirements of the admission policy.

Employee Student Status
Employees will be enrolled as degree-seeking undergraduate students, degree-seeking graduate students or as special students, according to their particular academic circumstances. Courses must be taken for academic credit but do not have to be taken toward the completion of a degree. 
Note:  Faculty and staff taking courses through EEAP do not pay student fees, and therefore, are not eligible to use Health & Counseling Services, a department funded by student fees.  Faculty and staff taking courses through EEAP also are not eligible to use the Lois Rhame West Center recreational facilities (beyond participating in a registered course) unless they purchase a membership.

Academic Requirements
Employees enrolled at Winthrop are subject to all rules and regulations of Winthrop governing academic requirements and eligibility for degree- and non-degree-seeking students. Employees may take any credit course offered by Winthrop under the program if they qualify academically.

Tuition and Fees
Tuition is waived for a maximum of six credit hours per semester. Tuition is waived for a maximum of six credit hours for all summer terms combined.

For credit hours above the maximum of six, regular tuition fees will be assessed. Employees who reside out-of-state may request an exemption for out-of-state tuition fees by completing the "Application for Classification as a South Carolina Resident for Fee and Tuition Purposes," available in the Office of Records and Registration in 126 Tillman or online at http://www.winthrop.edu/admissions/scresidency.

Tuition assistance is not available to employees receiving allowances from any other official sources, including the G.I. Bill, scholarships, grants-in-aid, etc.

Enrollment Process
Employees will enroll in classes following the same process for all admitted students.

EEAP Request
A request form to participate in EEAP is available online. A copy of the complete policy and additional information regarding the approval process are attached to the application form that you will receive.
