Enrollment window for autumn tuition assistance closes August 25

Applications are required each applicable semester to receive faculty and staff tuition assistance. Eligible faculty and staff can apply in Workday (recommended) or with paper forms. The enrollment window for autumn semester 2023 ends August 25, 2023.

Applications for dependent tuition assistance must also continue to be submitted for each applicable semester. Both eligible parents are required to enroll in dependent tuition assistance to qualify a dependent for the 75% dependent tuition assistance benefit. Tax treatment will be determined per term and applied, if applicable, to the parent who completes and submits dependent tuition enrollment first.

The student must have a Social Security number on file with their university student record to receive dependent tuition assistance. To add a Social Security number, use the change of record form on the Registrar’s website.

Additional resources about how to enroll can be found by expanding the “Enrollment” accordion on both faculty and staff and dependent tuition pages. In addition, written step-by-step instructions are located in the Administrative Resource Center.

Employees and their dependents should look at their statements of account to verify that tuition assistance was applied.
