Tuition Waivers
All regular part-time and full-time employees and their families may take advantage of the university's tuition waiver program to work toward a degree or improve their job skills.
Employee Benefit
Credit limit: Employees may take up to six hours of university credits per semester, with no tuition fee, to a maximum of 12 credit hours per calendar year (including summer session).
Classes taken during work time: Employees may take up to three semester hours during working hours without being required to make up the time, if the course will enhance job-related skills or knowledge. Prior approval must be granted by the employee's supervisor and the tuition waiver form completed.
Graduate classes: The value of the tuition will be added to the employee’s gross income and taxed as if it were regular earnings. If the courses are a requirement of an employee's position, those courses may not be subject to taxation.
