Nipissing University Tuition Fee Subsidy for Staff Members and Dependents:
-
Full-time staff members, their dependents and spouses will be eligible for a tuition subsidy (not including incidental fee or any foreign fee supplement) following their period of probation as well as dependents of retired employees and dependents of employees deceased while in the full-time 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 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.
-
A student qualifying for tuition subsidy must remain in good standing. Further, in the event of loss of good standing, the same course(s) or an equivalent one may be taken at the student’s expense in order to re-instate eligibility or good standing.
Staff members wishing to take advantage of this policy must submit a completed Application for Tuition Fee Subsidy form to the Human Resources office prior to registering. Application forms are available in the Human Resources office. If the course is scheduled during normal working hours, the employee must provide the Associate Vice-President, Human Resources, 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.
Tuition subsidy is not a taxable benefit for employees that are taking courses for professional development.
