Tuition Waivers Streamlined for Employees and Full-Time Faculty
July 25, 2025
We’re excited to share an update that makes accessing educational benefits easier for our employees and full-time faculty.
Beginning this term, tuition waivers will be automatically applied to benefit eligible employees and full-time faculty accounts—no form is needed.
Here’s What You Need to Know:
- Automatic Waiver Application: The Accounts Receivable (AR) team will identify benefit eligible employees and full-time
faculty taking classes. An automated process will apply waivers based on up to 8 credits per term and 16 credits per year.
- Timing: Waivers will start being applied approximately two weeks before the start of classes.
- Monitoring Add/Drop Activity: The AR team will automatically track class add/drop activity to ensure waiver amounts align with final enrollment status.
- Supervisory Approval Still Required: If you're taking courses during scheduled work hours, departmental approval is still required and should be kept on file within your department. This approval will not happen through the tuition waiver form.
- Tuition Waiver Forms are Still Required for Family Members, Adjuncts and Adjunct Family Members:
- Employee and full-time faculty spouses and dependents
- Adjunct faculty, their spouses, and dependents
