What happens to my tuition fee waiver after I separate?
Per administrative policy 3342-6-09.1, retired full-time employees with at least ten years of continuous full-time service with the university are eligible, if they satisfy the eligibility requirements, for retirement benefits under the OPERS or the STRS defined benefit plans including employees who retired under the alternative retirement plan.
Employees who are separated for any reason other than recognized retirement must have active service of not less than 30 days within the semester of their termination of employment or reduction of hours become effective to be eligible for tuition waiver for the complete semester. Any period less than 30 days will either constitute removal from classes through university exit or the full semester tuition payment must be made to the bursar's office to continue classes.
