Tuition waiver

All permanent employees (3/4 time or more) are eligible to receive a waiver of tuition and fees for one course per academic term on a space-available basis, if enrollment does not interfere with normal employment obligations. Applicants must meet all of the university's requirements for admission as well as the requirements of the school or program and the course prerequisites, and must pay course fees. The privilege of tuition-free enrollment may be exercised at any of the constituent institutions of the UNC system. This benefit applies only to employees; family members of employees are not eligible for tuition waivers.

For additional information on tuition waiver, see the Human Resources policy and procedures. Forms for requesting the waiver are available from Human Resources.

North Carolina General Assembly Session Law 2009-451, Senate Bill 202, Section 8.11.(b) repealed the waiving of tuition for North Carolina citizens age 65 and older.
