Info For
Tuition Waiver (also known as Tuition Remission) is a program that allows eligible employees and their eligible dependents to attend Elmira College credit-bearing classes full-time or part-time without paying the full tuition.
This is a tuition (only) benefit. Only credit-bearing courses are covered by the Tuition Waiver program. Non-credit and certificate courses are not eligible.
Other fees, campus housing, board, books, and other educational expenses are not included. Exceptions to these policies may be authorized by the Vice President for Finance and Administration.
Employees should contact the Office of Human Resources to determine if they or their dependent are *eligible for the Tuition Waiver benefit. Qualification as an eligible employee begins on the first day of employment and ends on the last day of employment.
*Participation in this program is contingent upon acceptance under the standard eligibility requirements applied to all applicants. Standard enrollment and registration procedures must be followed, whether full-time or part-time.
All Tuition Waiver requests must be submitted one week prior to registering. Full-time Tuition Waivers must be annually submitted before June 1 so that the waiver can appear as a credit on the first bill.
Contact the Office of Human Resources for further questions.
Once *eligibility is approved, employees should complete the Tuition Waiver and Tuition Exchange Request Form. Additionally, employees who register for six or more credits must file the FAFSA to apply for federal and state grants. Any federal or state grant received will replace (on a dollar for dollar basis) the College's contribution to the tuition remission for the eligible employee.
