Exempt Other Benefits - 2 - Tuition Remission

Exempt Other Benefits - 2 - Tuition Remission

As an exempt employee of Salisbury University, you are eligible for a tuition benefit upon hire.  Tuition benefits apply for courses taken at any teaching campus within the University System of Maryland (USM).  Full-time employees receive 100% tuition remission for up to eight credit hours per semester.   For employees working on at least a 50% basis, tuition remission is proportionate to the percent of time employed. 

After completing two years of service, a spouse and/or dependent children are then eligible for a tuition benefit towards a first undergraduate degree.  With full-time employment, the tuition benefit is 100% if the spouse or dependent is attending the home institution.  For employees working on at least a 50% basis, tuition remission is proportionate to the percent of time employed.  The tuition benefit is reduced to 50% if the spouse or dependent attends another USM School.     

Some exclusions apply, so please refer to the Board of Regents Policy VII-4.10 and VII-4.20 for detailed information.  Links to each policy are available in the Quick Reference Guide.  Tuition remission forms are available in Human Resources or on the HR website.
