waivers
employees
Employees receive a 100% waiver of the instructional fee. (The waiver is pro-rated if the employee is part-time). At the discretion of the department chair or head, the general fee portion of tuition may be waived for course work that is related to the employee's current position. The employing department requesting the waiver of the general fee will be charged for the amount of the general fee waived. This is granted on a course-by-course basis, not for entire degree programs
With approval from their department or planning unit head, employees may take up to 10 credit hours of undergraduate and eight credit hours of graduate courses per quarter. An employee may take one course during working hours and one additional course during non-working hours with supervisory approval. Additionally, a Distance Learning course or weekend workshop may be added with proper approval.
Full-time employees should not register as full-time students with out proper approval. Any employee wishing to do so needs to provide their department approval on the educational benefits request form. This will then be considered for approval by the Associate Vice President for Finance & Administration for Human Resources.
Eligible employees on layoff status or approved leave of absence are qualified during the period of layoff or leave.
dependents
Eligible dependents receive a 100% waiver of the instructional fee. The general fee is the responsibility of the student. (The waiver is pro-rated if the employee is part-time).
Dependents of employees may take as many courses as academically permissible.
