Center » Tuition Remission For Non-Faculty
Employees
All
benefit eligible non-faculty employees (regular full time
and part time employees working 20 or more hours per week)
are eligible for tuition remission benefits the next academic
term after completion of one (1) year of continuous employment
in a benefit eligible position .
Employees must be employed by Northwestern at the time they
apply for tuition remission benefits, but need not remain
employed after acceptance into the program.
Employees
dependents (per IRS definitions)
are also eligible for tuition remission.
Tuition
remission benefits may be used only for courses offered in
the academic programs of Northwestern Health Sciences
University . Continuing education courses, non-credit
courses and special programs are not covered under this
benefit.
Eligible
non-faculty employees and/or their dependents must meet the
same admission requirements as other students. Acceptance
as a student at the University does not guarantee remission
of tuition nor does eligibility for tuition remission guarantee
acceptance by the University.
For
the tuition remission program:
- Full time is defined as .75
FTE or greater,
- Part time is defined as .50
FTE to .74 FTE
Tuition
remission benefits are provided based on the following schedule:

60%
|
| After

|
| After

Part
time non-faculty employees and their dependents are eligible
for tuition remission benefits at one half (1 1/2 ) the
rate for full-time non-faculty employees.
The
tuition remission applies to one (1) tuition per term.
The
number of tuition remissions available to employees and their
dependents will be determined by the administration of Northwestern
on a term by term basis.
