The University offers many options for employees to complete college-level coursework. Employees in full-time, permanent positions are granted three (3) tuition waivers per academic year. Additionally, departments may choose to pay for an employee’s tuition using the Academic Assistance (Tuition Reimbursement) program. When using the Academic Assistance program the employee is responsible for the initial cost of the course. The employee will be reimbursed upon receiving a passing grade or higher.
