Employee Tuition Waiver Procedures
The tuition waiver covers the cost of tuition waived less Financial Aid; however, the employee/student is personally responsible for books and fees and laptops, when applicable.
In order to process your tuition waiver request accurately and timely, the following steps must be taken prior to the designated drop/add deadline date for each semester:
1. Pick up the ETW form from the Human Resources Department or online.
2. Complete the employee and student information section and sign the form. Signatures are required by the employee, student and appropriate Vice President.
3. Bring the form to the following offices in the order listed for completion and signature of their appropriate section. Please note: A scheduled appointment with the offices below is highly recommended:
Human Resources
Financial Aid
Business Office
4. Financial aid forms must be completed with the Financial Aid Office.
Employees/students are required to apply for any state and federal awards for which they qualify. Important deadlines: The ETW request and the FAFSA must be completed for undergraduate traditional Fall Freshmen and Transfers by June 1; for Spring Freshmen and Transfers by November 15; and for all other academic programs 8 weeks prior to the first day of classes.
5. The Financial Aid Office will enter the approved waiver.
Waivers are not approved until all signatures are on the form.
This waiver form must be completed for each semester you wish to attend.
Please be advised that the tuition waiver benefit for Graduate level courses is considered a taxable fringe benefit and will be included with taxable wages reported on the employee’s W-2.
