Chapter 14

TUITION EXEMPTION

The University of Washington, under authority of RCW 28B 15.558, provides to eligible faculty and staff of the University, and to a selected group of Washington State University employees, a program of tuition exemption, with waiver of service and activities fees and operating fees, for registration in courses on a space available basis.

Participation in the tuition exemption program is available to faculty members and academic employees and to members of the classified and exempt staff of the University of Washington, and to cooperative extension and agricultural research employees of Washington State University stationed off campus. To be eligible, one must be a full time employee with six months or more of consecutive service, and be admitted as a student to the University.

Under the exemption program, registration is permitted for up to 6 credits per quarter; a registration fee of $5.00 is required for each quarter that courses are taken. The approval of release time or reschedule of work hours to accommodate course-taking must be secured from the immediate supervisor of a staff employee.

To ensure compliance with the space-available restriction, participants must register on the last day of in-person registration, or at a later date as designated by the Registrar. An employee, however, may seek to insure a position in a course by preregistering and payment of the regular tuition as a regularly enrolled student.

Detailed information about tuition exemption for academic personnel is available from Academic Personnel Records; staff employees may obtain information from the Staff Personnel Office.
