COACHES Tuition Waiver

"Eligible" employee shall be defined as any regular full-time coach in an active pay status.  Certain leave statuses can result in loss of tuition waiver eligibility.  Eligibility is determined at the start of each semester.  A "pre-approved" tuition waiver does not guarantee payment if your status changes.  Employees who lose eligibility will be responsible for payment or repayment of tuition if applicable.

Tuition Waiver for Domestic Partners or Child(ren) of Domestic Partner is required to be reported as "taxable income".

"Eligible" Coaches with regular full-time status are entitled to total waiver of tuition at any State System University.

The tuition waiver form does not constitute registering for classes.  Its sole purpose is for Human Resources to verify benefit eligibility.  The student must register for classes through the University's admission process at the Admission Center or the Office of the Registrar in addition to completing the tuition waiver form.

Children of "Eligible" Coaches are entitled to total waiver of tuition at the University where the coach is employed until the children reach the age of 25 or obtain their first undergraduate degree, whichever comes first. Employee must provide proof of age for the child if applying for a waiver for this child for the first time.

• This waiver of tuition shall continue to the limits stated above in the event the "Eligible" employee, after ten (10) or more years of service, becomes permanently disabled or dies.
• This waiver of tuition shall also continue to the limits stated above for "Eligible" employees who retire from the University AND are at or above superannuation age AND have served ten (10) or more years in the PASSHE.

Children of "Eligible" Coaches are entitled to a 50% waiver of tuition for State System Universities other than the University where the coach is employed until the children reach the age of 25 or obtain their first undergraduate degree, whichever comes first. Employee must provide proof of age for the child if applying for a waiver for this child for the first time. Acceptable proof of age documents would be a copy of either a Birth Certificate or Baptismal Certificate. If neither document is available, please contact Human Resources for other acceptable options.

• This waiver of tuition shall continue to the limits stated above for "Eligible" employees who retire from the University AND are at or above superannuation age AND have served ten (10) or more years in the PASSHE.

Spouses and Same-sex Domestic Partners of "Eligible" Coaches are entitled to total waiver of tuition at the University where the coach is employed until the spouse obtains their first undergraduate degree.
