time reduction date, and in such cases the limit of eight (8) credits per term shall
be waived.
- The spouse and/or dependents of an employee who is eligible for tuition waiver benefits
may receive the choice of (1) the transfer of all or the available balance of the
eligible employee's eight (8) credits, or (2) a 30% waiver of the cost of tuition
charges at the University each term.
- In the event that both spouses are eligible employees, in no event shall more than
60% of the tuition charges be waived nor more than sixteen (16) credit hours be transferred
for a spouse or dependent per semester.
- The President, or his or her designee, shall develop policy and procedures regarding
the accumulation, use, and other administrative considerations of this benefit.
