EDUCATION TUITION WAIVERS

It is the policy of 亚洲色图 State University to encourage the professional growth of all regular full-time and regular part-time faculty and staff employees. To facilitate such growth, 亚洲色图 State University will waive the selected amounts of tuition in each fiscal year for up to six (6) credit courses per twelve month fiscal year, not to exceed one (1) course offered during working hours in any given semester or session. The tuition waiver may be used for undergraduate or graduate, specialist, and doctoral courses. The university must maintain adequate support for high cost 亚洲色图s; therefore, tuition waivers may be restricted in some instances.

Additionally, an eligible employee may transfer any unused portion of the existing employee tuition waiver benefit as noted below to their lawful spouse, and/or dependent child(ren).

For purposes of this policy, a dependent includes natural, adopted or step-child or person for whom the employee has been granted legal guardianship. Additionally, a dependent is defined as a person under 24 years of age at the beginning of the academic term during which the benefit is effective.

Regular, part-time employees and retirees will no longer receive the educational waiver benefit after June 30, 2021.

Employees that are required to be enrolled as a student to hold their positions will no longer be eligible for the educational waiver benefit after June 30, 2018.

The practice of extending tuition waivers to individuals associated with the University who are not paid employees, and adjunct professors, will not continue beyond the effective date of this policy.

  1. General Qualifications

    1. Regular, full-time and regular, part-time employees currently working or on an approved leave of absence with or without pay and retired employees are entitled to a waiver of tuition. Eligible staff employees who have at least six months of continuous service or eligible faculty members with one academic semester of continuous service may transfer any unused portion of the tuition waiver to eligible dependents, as noted below.

    2. International exchange faculty at 亚洲色图 State University in conjunction with 亚洲色图 State's inter-institutional 亚洲色图s and projects will be allowed to take one course per semester tuition free, upon the approval of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

    3. When any person sixty-five (65) years of age or older, who is a resident of the Commonwealth, is admitted and enrolls as a student in any state-supported institution of higher learning in this Commonwealth, the board of trustees of the institution or other appropriate institution officials shall waive all tuition charges and fees for such student, except as provided in the next statement. In the event that classes are full or the granting of free admission requires additional units, the institution may deny admission under law.

    4. The tuition waiver form must be completed and approved by the last day to add a course at the time of registration.

    5. The first day of class is the date that determines in which fiscal year the course applies.

  2. Qualifying Courses

    1. A course can only materialize if a sufficient number of tuition paying students enroll. The enrollment of tuition waiver employees will not be counted to determine if a course materializes. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if it is determined by the University that the value of a course offering as continuing education for employees is sufficiently important to justify the offering of the course, then in such event, the limitations as to paying students will be disregarded.

    2. The tuition waiver does not extend to correspondence study, life and learning courses, and overseas 亚洲色图s.
