Eligible Staff
The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà benefit program provides development opportunities through the tuition support plan. The Tuition Support Program is a benefit available to eligible Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà employees and their eligible dependents, allowing them to participate in academic courses at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà at a reduced cost. Eligible employees also have the opportunity to take non-credit courses offered through Continuing Education.
Eligible staff members may use tuition support benefits to support their continued education in academic credit courses offered at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà for themselves and their eligible dependents. The staff member must be eligible prior to the start date of the session, but the benefit is based on their status on the fee deadline.
