BEGINNING JANUARY 2, 2025

On-Campus Tuition Remission is given to those who are attending classes for credit at Â鶹´«Ã½. On-Campus Tuition Remission covers only the tuition. All other charges including lab fees, late charges or activities fees are not included. Attendance in classes will not be allowed during scheduled work hours including during one's lunch period. A full-time employee is eligible for on-campus tuition remission benefits beginning the semester following his/her full-time date of hire.

Full-time employees are eligible to receive 100% tuition for the duration of the employee's full-time employment in all programs except Special Programs* (such as the Executive Business Program (EMBA), the Law School, all doctoral programs, the MS in Finance for Professionals, the PhysicianÂ鶹´«Ã½™s Assistant Program, etc.) or Non-Credit or Certificate Courses/Programs** which are covered for employees only and when directly job related. Contact Human Resources for requirements and application procedures for Non-Credit or Certificate Courses/Programs.

Any scholarship or other University-provided tuition assistance may be impacted by On Campus Tuition Remission. Please contact the Financial Aid office for further information.

Tuition remission and tuition rate is based on the program in which you are enrolled (i.e. if a student is enrolled in a graduate program, undergraduate courses will be charged and taxed at the graduate level or if a student is enrolled in a doctoral program, graduate and/or undergraduate courses will be charged and taxed at the doctoral level).

Graduate courses are subject to tax withholding governed by the IRS. See Taxable Tuition for more information.

The University does not provide tax advice. We recommend that you consult with a tax advisor for more information on the tax implications of this benefit.
