Payment for licenses, certification fees, specialized training, or other similar expenses may be authorized for an employee when the institution requires the license, certification, or training as a condition of employment.  The following requirements must be met:

• Employee is on payroll during the period that the license or certification is active for or during the time of training.
• License, certification, or training is directly related to the employee's present position and is required by the University.
• The University will benefit from the specialized training received by the employee.
• Specialized training does not involve University course credit.  Any course taken which can be applied as a credit towards a University degree now or in the future would fall in this category.
