If you are an UVa Academic Division employee (faculty, staff, and some post-doctoral designations) and have one-year of benefits-eligible service to the University, you have an annual $2000 Education Benefit which can be used to pay for this course. For more information on the benefit and to confirm eligibility, visit the University Human Resources (UHR) website. To access the online form to request your benefit, go to www.hr.virginia.edu and click on Benefits@ in the upper right corner. Once you have signed into your Benefits account, click on Education Benefits on the bottom left under "I would like to change my…" Employees paid on a biweekly basis will receive benefit funds within two pay periods of requesting the benefit; those paid monthly will receive benefit funds in their next paycheck. Use your benefit payment to pay for the course directly.
