Tuition Remission
From Handbook: “Tuition Remission Plan
Bethune-Cookman University offers fifty percent (50%) tuition remission to full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service at Bethune-Cookman University. The policy covers no more than four years for each student on the plan. All participants of the Tuition Remission program prior to January 1, 2008, will be allowed to continue with the prior Tuition Remission. Fifty percent (50%) tuition remission of the regular tuition for courses taken at Bethune-Cookman University is granted for legal spouses living in the same household, sons and daughters (including stepchildren and those legally adopted) living in the same household and not over 25 years of age; while the employee is still employed.
Tuition Remission is available only during the Fall and Spring Semesters.
A full-time employee is limited to taking one course, at Bethune-Cookman University during assigned regular work hours. Written approval from the immediate supervisor is required. Tuition remission is an employee benefit that allows an employee to take three-credit hours per semester. Courses taken in excess of three-credit hours are the financial responsibility of the employee. All written requests must be forwarded to the Office of Human Resources Management for further processing. Permission should be based upon the individual's plan for fulfilling job responsibilities and the facilitation of uninterrupted work activity in the department. The request must be forwarded to the sector Vice President for final action.
Bethune-Cookman University employees applying for tuition remission will not be eligible to receive a Federal Direct Loan for financial aid. It is the responsibility of the employee to provide the Office of Human Resources with information requesting first time or continued tuition remission in advance of the expected matriculation. The Office of Human Resources Management will not contact employees to obtain this information.
Those enrolled must maintain at least a "C”, or 2.00 cumulative grade point average, to continue receiving this benefit.
This plan and its benefits are discontinued for dependents, if the employee is separated from the University for reasons other than retirement or in-service death.
In the event of retirement or death of a full-time employee who has completed at least five years of service at the University, tuition remission privileges may be extended to the legal spouse, and to sons or daughters (including stepchildren and those legally adopted) who have not attained 25 years of age. This privilege is subject to review by the University Cabinet and the President, and approval by the Board of Trustees.”
THE UNIVERSITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ADD, DELETE, AMEND, OR OTHERWISE MODIFY THE POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND BENEFITS AS THE UNIVERSITY DEEMS NECESSARY.
