Staff Council - We Work for You!

Pride, opportunity and commitment to the university community
are just a few of theattributes of the UTEP Staff Council.

Established in 1994, the council was created to support UTEP's goals and leadership
by representing the interest and concerns of the more than 2,000 staff members.

Each year the UTEP staff nominates and elects staff members to represent  them and support them.

The Staff Council and its subcommittees participate in different activities and events:
  • Annual Info Fair and Staff Celebration
  • Homecoming
  • Earth Day
  • Splash and Sparks Staff Appreciation Extravaganza
  • Commencement
  • Raising funds for staff Textbook Scholarships

Benefits and issues discussed by Staff Coucil

  • How staff can help UTEP achieve Tier 1 status
  • Telecommuting
  • Review staff tuition benefits

     We really appreciate your support with our fundraisers. It wouldn’t be UTEP without You!



If you have a special concern or have an idea benefiting the UTEP community
share it with us at our next meeting or e-mail any staff council member!


   
Fee Waiver Rules Revised    

Staff Council Effort Encourages
Employee Tuition Benefits Revision

Effective April, 1, 2010, two benefits for full-time University employees became more accessible. The eligibility requirement for both the President’s Staff Scholarship Program and the Waiver of Required Fees for employees taking classes at UTEP has been reduced from twelve (12) months to only six (6) months. The President’s Staff Scholarship Program helps pay tuition for full-time staff who have not already earned a bachelor’s degree. The Waiver of Required Fees program also applies to full-time UTEP employees who are working toward an undergraduate degree which reduces the cost of each class by about 75 percent. If you have any questions, please call the Department of Human Resource Services at 747-5202.

For more information on the Waiver of Required Fees, go to HR FORMS and select “Waiver of Required Fees for Employees” under Human Resources Forms.

For more information on the President’s Staff Scholarship, contact the Office of Scholarships at 915-747-5478.
For more information on the Staff Textbook Scholarship, contact a Staff Council member or email scouncil@utep.edu.
The applications will be available in May 2011.
