Educational Programs
The Tuition Waiver Program allows eligible employees to take up to 3 courses per academic year as defined in the tuition waiver policy. Law enforcement officers, excluding student employees who are working as part‐time law enforcement officers, may enroll in an unlimited number of courses per year. Eligible employees remain responsible for contacting their attending institution and specific program to determine if a waiver is allowed for your enrolled course and/or program. It is at the discretion of the attending institution and program as to whether they will accept tuition waiver for any or all courses.
