CHANGE IN THE TUITION WAIVER FOR FULL-TIME UAMS EMPLOYEES
The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees revised the
policy that effects the tuition waiver for full-time employees. The
following policy became effective on July 1, 2005:
“Employees may take any combination of undergraduate or graduate
semester credit hours during the fall and spring semesters and up to
three semester credit hours during each summer term, when dates of
enrollment are non-concurrent, at a tuition cost of 10% of the cost of
tuition for courses offered by the employee’s campus or at 30% of the
cost of full tuition for courses offered by any other campus within the
University. This waiver does not apply to professional degrees as
determined by the Chancellor of each campus. Employees enrolled in
electronically delivered courses such as CIV, Internet, web based, or
distance education are eligible for waiver benefits on regular tuition
10% of the cost of tuition for courses offered by the employee’s campus,
or 30% of the cost of tuition for courses offered by any other
University of Arkansas campus. In addition to this tuition cost, the
employee will pay the difference between the cost of regular tuition and
the tuition charge for distance education courses.”
