NIPISSING UNIVERSITY - POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
 
TUITION FEE SUBSIDY FOR STAFF MEMBERS AND DEPENDENTS
 
a)  Fulltime staff members, their dependents and spouses will be eligible for a tuition subsidy (not including incidental fees or any foreign fee supplement) following their period of probation as well as dependents of retired employees, dependents of employees deceased while in the full-time employ of the University and dependents of employees on LTD in the employ of the University.  
 
Dependents are defined as sons and daughters of a staff member who are entitled to be claimed as dependent children within the meaning of the Income Tax Act in the years in which the tuition fee subsidy is requested and under the age of 26 years; (Part-time unionized employees are eligible for a tuition subsidy as outlined in their contract).
 

NOTE: Tuition fee subsidy does not apply to AQ, ABQ, ABED, Masters Level courses, Principals Courses, ASL courses and non credit courses; however, it does apply to the BEd in extension.

FOR STAFF MEMBERS:    If the course is scheduled during normal working hours, the employee must provide the Director, Human Resources and Employee Relations, with a letter outlining how he/she will make up the time missed from work.  The maximum allowable time away from work is five (5) hours per week.

b) A student qualifying for a tuition subsidy must remain in good standing. Further, in the event of loss of good standing, the same course(s) or an equivalent one(s) may be taken at the student's expense in order to reinstate eligibility or good standing.
 

In order to avoid any confusion during the registration process, staff members wishing to take advantage of this policy must submit a completed application form to the Human Resources Office prior to registering.

 
*The tuition subsidy does not cover the cost of exams, incidental fees, student union fees or foreign fees.  Should any balances remain unpaid, the Finance Office reserves the right to communicate directly with the University employee regarding any and all outstanding balances.*
