Things To Remember

• DEADLINE: 10 DAYS AFTER THE START OF THE CLASS
  If no class date is specified (e.g. Independent Study), deadline is 10 days after the start of the respective semester/session.
• Please be aware of Student Financial Service’s Important Dates to avoid having classes dropped for non-payment. (e.g. If classes are registered for but tuition waiver has not been filed for by Early Registration Guarantee Date, classes will get dropped.)
• Always click on ‘Logout’ (in the upper right corner) to ensure that no one else can access your records.
• PLEASE Check back in the Tuition Waiver System to see when/if the waiver is processed by HR. You will NOT receive a confirmation or notice of denial. It is the responsibility of the employee to check.
• Make sure you or your dependent checks their billing information to make sure the tuition waiver gets processed in a timely manner.
