Resources for University Staff

SPCS is pleased to offer personal enrichment and professional development opportunities and courses for University staff. We encourage you to take advantage of your tuition remission benefit and try something new!

Tuition Remission

Human Resources offers generous tuition remission opportunities for full-time staff employees. Review the University’s Tuition Remission Policy.

Benefits apply to staff members, their spouses or same-sex domestic partners, and dependent children. These benefits can be applied to personal enrichment and professional development courses from the Think Again catalog as well as for credit-earning courses (spring, fall and summer) from our degree programs.

Professional Development

SPCS offers a wide range of professional development opportunities that may be incorporated into staff members’ performance feedback and development plans.

Certificates

• We offer many professional certifications that can be earned by taking one or just a few courses. Among the certifications are e-marketing, social networking for business, customer service, online teaching and supervisory leadership.
• We offer coursework toward ServSafe certification in addition to three other culinary certificates through our Culinary Arts program.
• We offer professional certificates in nonprofit marketing, board development, grant writing and fundraising through the School’s Institute on Philanthropy.
• We offer professional certificates in landscape design and landscape horticulture, plants and practices through the School’s Environmental Sterwardship & Sustainable Design program. In partnership with educational providers, ESSD also provides LEED certification coursework.
• We offer interior decorating certificates through our Interior Decorating program.
• We offer course work toward Certified Massage Therapist™ and Certified Financial Planner™ certification.

SPCS also offers individual courses that will enrich or enhance existing skills. Subjects include Computer Skills, Career Development and Communications & Writing.

Personal Enrichment

Leisure is an important component of workplace health and wellness. In addition to the Weinstein Center’s free fitness programming for Weinstein Center members, SPCS is pleased to offer leisure courses in categories like Fit-N-Well and Sports & Games.

We also offer extensive youth programs, including SAT and ACT Prep courses, especially during the summer.

And if you’re looking to learn something new just for the fun of it, consider a language class, a new art form or a class in history & humanities.
