TAP Definitions
Full-Time Employee
A full-time employee is an employee who has a 1.0 FTE (full-time equivalent) work commitment.
Home Institution
The location where the employee conducts the major portion of his/her work and/or research is considered the “home institution.” The “home institution” must be located within the State of Georgia.
Exceptions:
1. The home institution for an out-of-state employee is the employing institution located within the State of Georgia.
2. The home institution for a University System Office employee is the institution at which he/she is admitted as a student.
Limited-Slot Enrollment Program
A limited-slot enrollment program is a degree program for which there are a limited number of spaces allowed in the program, and, for which there may be additional criteria required (such as work experience in a related field).
Student Fees
TAP participants are identified as faculty or staff, and their status as a student is secondary in all considerations, including student fee waivers. The following fees are waived by all USG institutions for TAP attendees: tuition, student late registration fee, student technology fee, student health insurance fee, student activity fee, and student athletic/student facilities fee. TAP attendees whose student health fee, student activity fee, and athletic fee are waived, are ineligible for the services sponsored by these fees unless the fees are paid separately. Other student fees and charges, as defined by the “teaching institution,” are not waived for TAP attendees. Such student fees must be paid as required by the course or institution (e.g., transcript, graduation, exam and testing fees, and lab fees).
Teaching Institution
The “teaching institution” is the University System of Georgia institution at which a TAP participant has met the admissions requirements and is approved for enrollment in an academic credit course(s).
Tuition Assistance
Tuition assistance is the waiver of tuition and the waiver of certain fees (Please see Student Fees). Tuition assistance requires an approved TAP application and space availability within the course(s) and/or degree program of the institution attended.
