Common use of Tuition Remission Program Clause in Contracts

Tuition Remission Program. The Employer shall provide a tuition remission benefit program for all employees subject to the conditions specified herein. Tuition remission benefits for employees or any person eligible for benefits who are receiving financial aid shall be limited to the difference between tuition charges and the amount of any financial aid being received. Employees may receive full tuition and fee remission up to nine (9) credit-hours per term for undergraduate and graduate courses in any college or school of the Employer except the School of Dentistry and Doctoral programs. The employee may receive full tuition and fee remission for the School of Law up to seven (7) credit-hours per term on a space- available basis. Spouses or legally domiciled adults of employees may receive full tuition and fees remission for undergraduate courses and three-quarter (75%) tuition remission for graduate courses in programs leading to master’s degrees in colleges or schools covered by this Agreement. Dependent children of employees may receive full undergraduate tuition remission benefits exclusive of fees and three-quarter (75%) tuition grants for graduate courses in programs leading to master’s degrees in colleges or schools covered by this Agreement. Spouses or legally domiciled adults and dependent children of retired, disabled or deceased employees may receive full undergraduate tuition remission benefits exclusive of fees for regular courses leading to a degree and taken for credit provided that the employee has served continuously for the five (5) years preceding retirement, disablement or death. For the purpose of this paragraph, a qualified dependent child is one who is an unmarried son, daughter, or stepchild; and is under age 24 at the start of their first term of a degree program. Eligible children who begin taking courses while under 24 years of age may continue to receive the tuition remission after age 24, as long as they maintain consecutive enrollment until they obtain either the current degree they are working on or attempt 120% of the required credit-hours for their current program, whichever comes first. Employees who believe their income level makes them ineligible for FAFSA benefits will be waived from the requirement to complete FAFSA documentation after pre-certifying with the Financial Aid Office. For more information on the pre-certification process, employees should contact the Financial Aid Office.
