E. Completed in accordance with the application procedures and deadlines discussed above.
TRANSCRIPTS – Official transcripts verifying course work completed by the above dates must be filed with the Human Resources Office before a change in salary classification may take place. According to this provision, a request for a change in salary classification, along with official transcripts or a transcript request form, must be submitted prior to a monthly payroll period deadline for a salary change to be effective for that month, otherwise, the salary change will become effective the following month. In all instances, salary changes will not be made retroactive to months prior to submission of the official transcript(s) or receipt of a copy of transcript request forms(s). Implementation of the change will be processed upon receipt of official transcripts.
Official transcripts (those which bear the university seal and/or an original signature from the Registrar) must be submitted from an accredited college or university for salary advancement.
