Full-time employees and part-time hourly or unclassified administrative staff who have completed the waiting period from their date of hire may apply for the tuition waiver benefit. 

A full-time employees, and their eligible dependents, may apply for the tuition waiver so long as the employee has met the 120-day waiting period equivalent by the last day to elect courses for credit (i.e. late registration).

Part-time classified hourly or unclassified administrative staff who have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours within the previous 12 months prior to the start of the semester are eligible for a four-credit-hour waiver. There are no tuition waiver benefits for dependents of part-time employees

Before submitting the request

Employees should read through the policy in its entirety for understanding, and make sure that the person for whom they are requesting tuition benefits (1) has been admitted to the university; and (2) has a Proof of Dependency Status Form (PDF) on file (for dependents who are to utilize the tuition benefit). In addition, employees who are Out-of-State can review Ohio Residency information.

Through the university FlashLine portal, employees can submit their request under the "Tuition Waiver Benefit Request" workflow.
