HR Scoop - August 2026

New spouse/dependent SNC athletic passes are now available for regular season sporting events (excludes postseason and hockey) entitling the holder to free admittance. You can pick up passes in the HR office in the Garden (Lower) Level of Main Hall. The pass is good for the 2026-2027 academic year. Each year we will have new passes with the start of the Fall Semester to use for that year.

 

Any “Driver” (student, faculty, staff, volunteer, contractor, or norbertine) who plans on driving a St. Norbert College-owned, leased or rented vehicle (for road use) under the name of St. Norbert College, must complete the SNC Driving/MVR Registration form so their respective Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) can be reviewed. You must be at least 18 years old to drive a St. Norbert College-owned, leased, or rented vehicle. Students will be required to complete an online Defensive Driving course.

 

Students - Those who are employees will be assigned Defensive Driving training on-line through Workday (upon hire in an eligible position) while those students who are not employees will be assigned Defensive Driving Training directly through Vector Solutions manually. Students must complete the course and have a “passing” grade.

 

All Drivers - MVRs must be obtained and approved prior to operating a motor vehicle for St. Norbert College by completing the SNC Driving/MVR Registration Form.

 

Drivers shall have their MVR reviewed every 4 years.  Please read the full policy and procedures from the HR website.

Tuition Waiver Application

The deadline for submitting applications for the College's Tuition Waiver Benefit for the 2027/2028 academic year is September 30, 2026.

 

If the student is a degree seeking candidate a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) needs to be completed no later than January 1, 2027. The 2027-2028 FAFSA will be available around October 1, 2026. On the FAFSA website use school code 003892. The Financial Aid Office can provide any additional information regarding the FAFSA requirement.

 

Before you complete the application you may want to read the Tuition Waiver Policy to learn about eligibility requirements. You must complete the Tuition Waiver Application for each individual that you are requesting to use the waiver for the 2027/2028 school year.

 

NOTE: When submitting the amount of credits for Fall, January, Spring, and Summer, you may want to enter credits for January and Summer even if you aren’t sure the applicant will take any courses during that time. This way you will not have to resubmit another application form if the applicant does decide to take a course(s) during that time.

 

After you complete the Tuition Waiver application(s) you will receive an email reply that contains the information you submitted. You will be notified separately if there is an issue with your application or eligibility.

 

The email for Tuition Exchange and that application process will be sent the first week of September separate from the SNC Waiver process.

PTO Balances
Just a reminder that any remaining PTO must be used by 8/8/2026.  Any leftover PTO balance will be forfeited once your new PTO allotment has been allocated.  Full time employees will receive 48 hours of PTO on 8/9/2026.  This amount is prorated based on your FTE if you are less than 1.00.

Regular full-time staff are provided six days of personal paid time off (PTO) annually. Your PTO begins at the start of the pay period in which Aug. 16 falls into, and is available to use through the end of the pay period prior to the pay period in which Aug. 16 of the following year falls into. PTO is prorated for new employees and for those not at 1.00 FTE . The college provides PTO to assist you if you need to unexpectedly take time off due to illness or injury, or to care for a family member. However, you also may use your PTO for non emergency time off, with supervisor approval. If you need time off and your PTO has been exhausted, your supervisor may allow you to use vacation time.  You may only use your yearly PTO during the plan year; you can’t carry over any days into the following year. If you miss work, the college may elect to assign PTO to that time, at its discretion. St. Norbert doesn’t pay out any remaining PTO at the end of employment.
