• Academic employees can now use up to $5,250 for tuition toward a degree-seeking program  
• Professional Development benefits criteria (which includes classes, certification training, or conferences), may be job-related, career growth-related, or a developmental opportunity
• Job Aids to walk you through the request in Workday  
• Helpful prompts in Workday to upload documentation to substantiate your request
• Assistance for departments when offering bulk courses to benefits-eligible employees
