Sr. Policy Executives Tuition Waiver

"Eligible" employee shall be defined as any permanent full-time employee in an active pay status. There is no waiting period for children or spouses tuition waiver (BOG policy 1984-03-A).  For the employees themselves, managers have to clear probation (6 months unless extended in writing) under KU policy A&F 20.   Employees in limited term positions for less than nine months are not eligible. If employment commences after the date of late registration, benefit will begin with the start of the next following academic term.  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.

"Eligible" Sr. Policy Executive employees are entitled to a total waiver of tuition for job-related undergraduate courses at the University where employed on a space-available basis (WAIVER CANNOT BE USED FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY/INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION COURSES) providing the employee has had satisfactory performance evaluations, and has a positive leave balance. If the course(s) require an adjustment to the normal work schedule, the employee is required to submit a plan to make up any work time used. This plan must be approved by the employee's supervisor. The supervisor must further certify that the selected course(s) provides job-related training and that taking the course(s) will not result in additional costs to the 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.
