Prepare a memo for your manager asking for tuition reimbursement to attend this course. Assume that you work for an organization that does not have a regular procedure for such a request and thus requires approval well beyond your department. So, you will need adequate background and detail for someone who may not be familiar with your job duties or this request.
The effectiveness of your memo depends on how well you are able to show the value of this particular course and how it will help make you a better employee, now or in the future. Use the course materials, the text, and your UWM program description in addition to your knowledge of your job duties to help you prepare this memo. Review your class notes, and be sure to read the handbook entries memos and internal proposals as you prepare.Format: Use the form shown in the entry memos (Figure M-4), but double space. The length should be about two double-spaced pages (equals one single-spaced page or about 500 words).
