When am I eligible?
University employees are eligible for the tuition benefit the first semester following their first 90 days of employment. Dependent eligibility is based on the length of time the employee has worked at the University, and there may be additional requirements and limitations. Learn more about eligibility.
Which programs are covered under tuition benefits?
With the exception of UOnline, and undergraduate programs at the Miami Law School and the Miller School of Medicine, most undergraduate degree programs are covered. In addition to traditional degree-seeking programs, many other credited, on-campus programs are also eligible. To learn about a program’s eligibility, employees can reach out to the program directly, or contact the HR Total Rewards team by completing the online inquiry form and providing a link to the program description.
Furthermore, the Division of Continuing and International Education offers programs that are covered under the benefit, including the pre-college credit options with the Summer Scholars Program. Other offerings, such as the non-credit professional certificate programs and select intensive language programs, offer a 20 percent waiver.
