Each dependent child of a faculty member enrolled in accredited post-secondary education, at least part-time (as defined by the postsecondary educational institution), but for no more than eight semesters or twelve quarters (3 quarters per year), may receive such allowance. Eligibility for the educational allowance is based on the dependent child maintaining an average of C or above in their postsecondary education. The current educational allowance is $5,000 per year per child payable in one installment in the eligible faculty member’s January 31 paycheck. To receive reimbursement, the faculty member must complete the Faculty Educational Allowance form found in myGETS by January 18 (or the next business day after the 18th if the 18th is on a weekend) to receive reimbursement.

Please click here to access the form you need to complete via DocuSign to request the distribution of the allowance via payroll. 

• When you click the link above, you will be first asked to enter your full name (First and Last) and email address.
• Then select “Begin Signing.”
• When the form opens, you will need to check the box agreeing to sign the form electronically and then select “Continue.”
• The boxes that have a red outline around them are required fields and the other fields are optional. To enter data, click in the box for the field and start typing. Please note: where both semesters or terms are indicated, you only need to select one checkbox in that entire section, either a semester or a term.
• By clicking on the paperclip, you can upload the grade report for that semester or term. We do not need a tuition bill because reimbursement is based on the child having a C-average or above. You will not be able to submit the form without attaching the grade report.
• At the end of the form, you can add your electronic signature and then select “Finish.”
• You will then be provided the option to download, print, or close the form. The form is automatically received by me when you select finish. There is no further action needed by you.

When I receive the form, I will sign it and process it for the January 31 payroll. Once I sign it, you will receive the final executed copy via email. As a current employee, I will upload the completed form to your personnel file in ADP for your future access to it.
