What tuition waiver programs are available?

Faculty and staff of The University of North Carolina may take up to three courses per year tuition-free (including online courses).  Regulations on this benefit may be viewed here.  The Human Resources office of your institution will have a form for you to complete to request authorization for the tuition waiver.  Complete this form and submit it along with the required course application (described for each course in the Courses section) to the campus offering the course in which you are interested.

Tuition waivers are also available for North Carolina residents at least 65 years old and for certain family of deceased or disabled emergency workers.  Regulations on this benefit may be viewed here.  When you find a course you are interested in taking, contact the Human Resources office of the institution that offers that course to obtain the appropriate tuition waiver form.
