HR Question of the week

Can I use the tuition waiver for non-credit classes?

No. The tuition waiver for employees and their dependents may only be used for classes taken for credit hours. The benefit cannot be used for non-credit courses or to audit a course. This is in compliance with University Policy 6-09.1, administrative policy and procedures regarding tuition benefits.

Beginning this fall. the Benefits Office will monitor tuition waiver enrollments and notify employees if they or one of their dependents are taking a course that is not eligible for the waiver. In those cases the employee or dependent may continue in the class, but he/she will be responsible for the tuition payment.

Employees may enroll for the tuition waiver by completing the Tuition Benefit Request Workflow in FlashLine. The workflow can be found in the My Action Items tab, in the Workflow & Utilities channel.

For questions or more information on the tuition waiver, contact the Benefits Office at 330-672-3107 or benefits@kent.edu.
