Documenting Eligibility for Tuition Remission
The Office of Financial Assistance is responsible for monitoring and verifying employee eligibility for tuition remission. Listed below are the categories of eligibility and the associated verification requirements:
| Employees | The Office of the Provost certifies the employment status of exempt employees. The Human Resource Department certifies the employment status of non-exempt employees. Employees must have completed one year of service prior to the first day of the academic term for which the benefit is requested. |
|
|
| Employees' Spouses |
An eligible spouse must be married to the otherwise eligible employee on the first day of the academic term for which the benefit is being requested. The Office of Financial Assistance may request a marriage license to verify marital status. |
|
|
| Employees' Dependents |
Dependent(s) of employees are natural children, adopted children, stepchildren, or legal wards of eligible employees claimed as dependents on the employees' most recent federal tax return. To verify eligibility, employees must provide the Office of Financial Assistance with a copy of that portion of the employees' federal tax returns that shows that the dependents were claimed. Click here for an example of acceptable documentation. Alternatively, employees may submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Otherwise eligible children of eligible employees not claimed on the employee's most recent federal tax return due to divorce or legal separation agreements are considered eligible dependents and the verification requirement will be waived. |
