I would like to enroll in a class next September. Can I sign up for ERIT beginning in September or must my ERIT contract begin on July 1, 2012?

Department heads may offer ERIT any time between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2014. Some departments may elect to offer the program for the entire period; others may elect to offer the program only during certain months (such as the summer months); while some may elect to not offer ERIT at all. Check with your department head regarding the availability of the program in your department during the period of time you are interested in reducing your time.
