Berea College Coursework for employees
The opportunity to enroll in academic courses is consistent with the College’s commitment to create a continuous and integrated learning environment. Full time employees may apply to take one Berea College course per semester, excluding short term. The application and approval process should begin with a discussion between the employee and her/his immediate supervisor to see how, or if, taking a course might be accommodated on non-work time. The next step is for the employee to obtain and complete an application form available through the Student Services Department. Written approval by the immediate supervisor and the divisional vice-president is required prior to the commencement of the course. (Please note that due to the business needs of the College, it may not be possible to grant all requests submitted.)
All credit-bearing courses taken as an employee may count toward a Berea College degree. Unlike other non-degree students, employees seeking a degree may request entry into a closed class; additionally, they may register ahead of other non-degree students.
Employees who receive approval to take courses are responsible for the costs of their books, course fees and related expenses. The Student Service Center is available to answer fee-related questions.
Admission to Berea College for Degree-Seeking Dependents
Dependents of full time staff members must meet the College’s academic requirements, apply for admission in a timely manner, and may be admitted to the College regardless of demonstrating the financial need. Those dependents accepted for admission are required to reside on campus and are responsible for all books, fees, related expenses and room and board charges.
Dependents of full time staff members may also enroll as non-degree students without being residents of Madison County or adjacent counties. Cost of books, course fees and related expenses are the responsibility of the individual.
Tuition Exchange Programs for Dependents of Berea College Employees
There are two different programs that may be available to dependents of employees who have worked for Berea College for three (3) consecutive years in a full time capacity. These programs may provide partial, or, in some cases, a complete tuition subsidy to a qualified dependent of a Berea College employee. Over 550 colleges and universities participate with Berea College in these tuition exchange programs and availability varies from year to year. Applications must be submitted to Academic Services in the fall prior to the enrollment year to determine the student’s eligibility and acceptance at a particular participating school.
Please contact the Associate Provost for Enrollment Management for additional information about these programs.
