197.0. "Tuition Refund & Non-Trad. Degrees" by TROPIC::SANTIAGO () Thu Oct 09 1986 00:40

    
    		I need information regarding the company policy
    		on tuition refund and non-traditional University
    		Degrees. I had contact several Univesities who
    		offers non-trad. degrees by variuos means such
    		as portafolio assesment, credits convalidation
    		independent study, job related courses and 
    		seminars, but I would like to find out if this
    		means for acquiring a degree qualifies for the
    		company tuition refund program. Some of these
    		institutions mention DEC employees as graduates.

    JSR, sorry you still have not got a reply on this, my understanding
    is that DEC will pay for job or career related courses, I think the
    career related courses should be taken as part of a degree program,
    and the degree should be one that related somehow to DEC business, 
    like in computer science or electrical engineering, or software
    engineering and the like.

    the best think is to check with your Boss before hand or with the 
    personnel dept. about this to make sure before you sign for the course 
    or the degree that that it is OK.
