ADDENDUM

Special Loan Policy for Current Nursing Faculty

...

This policy has been established on a temporary basis in order to meet levels of doctorate-prepared nursing faculty required by SACS.  Current SACS guidelines require that 25% of all nursing courses in each undergraduate nursing program be taught by faculty holding an appropriate doctorate.  In order to meet this requirement in a timely fashion, EMU will expedite doctoral education for current nursing faculty until the 25% level is met in all three nursing programs (traditional undergraduate, ADCP in Virginia, ADCP in Pennsylvania).

An employee teaching in the Nursing Department and wishing to apply for a special tuition loan is expected to apply for any available tuition assistance programs offered by the graduate school, or Federal / State grant programs.   The employee may obtain a loan from EMU up to $18$25,000 for the entire doctoral program.  The amount loaned in any year may not exceed the tuition amount owed after any other loans or grants are taken into consideration.
