Tuition Waiver - EMPLOYEE & DEPENDENT/SPOUSE WAIVER REQUEST FORMS

TUITION WAIVERS FOR EMPLOYEES ENROLLED IN UNIVERSITY COURSES

Full-time NSU employees may enroll in classes, provided it can be done without interfering with their work assignments. The University will waive up to 6 hours of graduate or undergraduate tuition (excluding student fees) for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Full-time employees must be seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree or seeking a certificate or badge in order to receive the tuition waiver.

The account sponsor and supervisor signatures are required, prior to enrollment, confirming approval that classes taken will not interfere with work assignments. All working hours missed must be made up by the employee and shown on the timesheet (non-exempt employees). If the Account Sponsor and the supervisor are in agreement that the employee is allowed to enroll in class(es) in excess of those outlined above, all such hours missed will result in an appropriate payroll deduction and cannot be made up.

The signatures of the Supervisor and Account Sponsor (i.e., Director, Dean, Assistant Vice President, Vice President) on the form below, shall be considered as a verification that the appropriate arrangements have been made to make up any time missed.

TUITION WAIVERS FOR DEPENDENT CHILDREN AND SPOUSES OF UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES

Northeastern State University has an undergraduate tuition waiver program for qualified residents of Oklahoma who are dependent children (24 years of age or younger on the first day of the semester) or spouses of full-time university employees. The applicant must be regularly admitted as a degree-seeking student in a program of study leading to a first undergraduate degree. The tuition waiver is for general enrollment tuition during the fall, spring and summer semesters and does not include any fees. The award is currently $116 per hour for up to 12 hours Fall and Spring ($1,392) and up to 6 hours summer ($696). Full-time students are funded first and part-time students will only be considered if money is available after all qualifying full-time students have been awarded. Part-time students must submit a written statement explaining reasons for part-time status and a plan for completing a bachelor’s degree. Keep in mind that the total amount of all combined tuition waivers cannot exceed the student's total tuition costs. 

The priority deadlines for the Tuition Waiver Program for Children and Spouses of University Employees will be:

• June 1st  -  Summer Semester
• August 1st  -  Fall Semester
• December 1st  -  Spring Semester

A request form must be completed once an academic year and the student must meet the following criteria to continue receiving the tuition waiver:

• Enroll in and complete at least 24 credit hours each academic year, unless a student has been granted a part-time exception (at least 12 per semester).
• Maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA for each academic year.

The application is updated yearly and sent via email to all faculty and staff towards the end of the spring semester.
