All full-time overtime eligible non-faculty employees of the Board of Regents with one or more years of continuous full-time service immediately prior to the academic census date may request approval to take up to three clock hours per week of class work without being required to make up this time. Employees should forward requests through their supervisor to the college/department head. Either supervisor can deny the request. All hours over the three clock hours limitation must be made up. If time off is allowed to attend classes, the supervisor must assure that the job requirements are met.

All full-time employees exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act with one or more years of continuous service immediately prior to the academic census date may also request permission to enroll in classes held during normal business hours. As with overtime eligible employees, the request must be approved by the employee's immediate supervisor and the college/department head. If time off is allowed to attend classes, the supervisor must assure that the job requirements are met. See BOR Policy 4:17. The form to secure approval for educational release time can be found on the HR web page.
