Tuition Benefits SLU

Employee Tuition Benefits

麻豆传媒 offers employees tuition benefits including tuition remission and tuition exchange.

Tuition Remission for Employees

Eligible SLU faculty, staff and emeritus faculty may apply for and receive a full tuition waiver for up to 18 hours per academic year. There is a $25 per credit hour nonrefundable fee.

To be eligible for the benefit, full-time faculty, full-time staff or emeritus faculty must be considered a full-time faculty or staff member during the month of the first day of classes for the term for which tuition-remission benefits are requested and meet requirements for admission as well as maintaining satisfactory academic progress.

Eligible participants can apply for the tuition-remission benefit online through Workday. A universal tuition-remission application process allows you to apply once for tuition-remission benefits. The approved applications will remain in place until you no longer meet the eligibility requirements.

These tuition-remission benefits shall not apply to the following:

University fees and course-related fees
Classes offered at any university, college, junior college or other educational institution other than the University
Tuition in excess of an overall limit of 180 credit hours for undergraduate, graduate and professional school tuition remission
Courses offered by 麻豆传媒 as noncredit courses or continuing education
Medical school tuition
When any satisfactory academic progress or admission requirement established by the Academic Vice President's Office is not met
A period of one term should a participant withdraw from courses in two consecutive terms or during the majority of terms for which they register in an academic year

Graduate-level Course Tax Liability

The IRS requires employees to pay taxes on graduate tuition benefits exceeding $5,250 in a calendar year. Employees will receive a letter once the limit is exceeded, and the appropriate taxes will be withheld from paychecks upon receipt of the employee class enrollment report.

To request that advanced tax deductions be withheld for the current calendar year, you may fill out the form below and submit it to Payroll Services. Please read the form carefully as the elections you submit will affect your paycheck amounts for the remainder of the calendar year.

Tuition Remission for Spouse and Children

The spouse and/or children (natural or adopted) of any full-time faculty, staff or Emeritus faculty are eligible for benefits under the tuition-remission plan.

Eligible participants can apply for dependent tuition-remission benefits online through Workday. A universal tuition-remission application process allows you to apply once for tuition-remission benefits. The approved applications will remain in place until you no longer meet the eligibility requirements.

There is a tuition-remission fee assessed on a per-credit-hour basis, as follows:

For dependent of SLU employee (Pell-eligible): $25 ($75 per three-hour class)
For dependent of SLU employee: $50 ($150 per three-hour class)
