Employees: Full-time employment with the College, full-time employees may enroll with full remission of tuition charges in any one (five credit) undergraduate or graduate course each semester or summer session, on a place-available basis, immediately upon employment. Part-time employees are eligible for prorated remission of the tuition. Proration of the remission for part-time employees will be calculated as the average of the employee's work schedule during the three years prior to the semester that the benefit is extended. Eligible regular part-time employees who change to permanent full-time status receive no less than 75% of the full award until completion of one year of full-time service; they may receive more than 75% of the full award during this time if their previous schedule so dictates. Employees must have met the service requirement prior to the beginning of the semester for which tuition remission is extended.

Spouses: After an employee has completed three years of eligible service, his or her spouse is eligible for this tuition remission benefit, under the same terms and conditions that apply to the employee. The employee must have met the three-year service requirement prior to the first effective semester for which tuition remission is extended. A break in service of less than one year will not deter eligibility, provided the employee otherwise meets the three-year waiting period.

Application to enroll in any undergraduate or Center for Continuing Education course must be made to the Director of the Center for Continuing Education. The faculty member must also approve arrangement for entrance into the class. Formal matriculation for an undergraduate degree must be done through the Center for Continuing Education and is not guaranteed. Application to enroll in any graduate course or program must be made to the Director of Graduate Studies; matriculation for a graduate degree is not guaranteed.

An employee who plans to enroll in a course must have the approval of his or her Department Head to ensure that departmental coverage is adequate and to arrange a schedule for making up the time away from work. Such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Tuition remission does not include the activity fee or other expenses for courses.
