Approval / Acceptance


Approval is granted for all applicants on a semester basis. No more than six (6) semester hours, or the equivalent quarter hours, are approved during the fall, spring or summer semesters.

Approved new applicants are eligible to apply for funding FOUR (4) CONSECUTIVE semesters or for a total of 21 hours, provided all other terms of the Traineeship Program are met. Applicants must apply each of the four consecutive semesters or request a waiver from the Traineeship office.

For example, an applicant who was approved and funded during the 2007 fall semester would be eligible during the 2008 spring semester and the 2008 summer semester, and in the fall 2008 semester provided all other terms of the Traineeship Program were met. After the 2008 fall semester, the applicant in this example is no longer eligible for tuition assistance from the Traineeship Program for the area initially funded. Special conditions may warrant interruption for one (1) semester (e.g., maternity leave, serious illness, availability of approvable course offerings, etc.). A request for special conditions interruptions will be reviewed once verification documentation is received.

ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance of funding means that the approved applicant agrees to all the terms and procedures of the Traineeship Program, including deadlines.
Course changes or substitutions, without prior approval by the Traineeship staff are the financial responsibility of the applicant and not the Traineeship Program. The program cannot be responsible for penalty fees.
