Full-time, permanent faculty, EPS, SHRA, and ROTC employees are entitled to apply for tuition waiver for up to three courses during the academic year - defined as fall, spring and summer semesters if they:

  • Are regularly scheduled to work 30 hours or more each week, 9 months of the year or longer,
  • Meet normal work obligations and continue permanent employment status for the entire semester during which the course is taken, and
  • Have been admitted to the UNC-system school and registered for course(s).

When App State is the Enrolling Institution, no more than two of the three courses permitted each Academic Year may be taken during any single semester. The single summer semester encompasses both Summer I and Summer II.


IMPORTANT

Please note that each institution within the UNC System is entitled to establish its own policy on tuition waiver usage by semester.  You must find and follow the academic calendar and tuition waiver policies and procedures established by the enrolling institution. Contact the Student Accounts/Bursar's Office, Registrar's Office, or the degree program director of the enrolling institution to learn more about the academic calendar, tuition waiver policies, and where to send your approved waiver for processing.

TIP

Employees who wish to take more than three courses during the academic year may want to explore the Tuition Reimbursement program in the Human Resources Information Center.
