Tuition Benefits

Syracuse University offers tuition benefits to employees/retirees, their spouses and same-sex domestic partners, and dependents. A brief overview is offered below, along with links to more detailed and specific information.

Remitted Tuition Benefits

Syracuse University offers Remitted Tuition Benefits to benefits-eligible faculty and staff and retirees which may be applied to tuition charges for undergraduate or graduate courses at SU, including University College (UC) with certain restrictions. Remitted tuition credits may be used by employees/retirees or transferred to their eligible spouse or same-sex domestic partner. Visit the Remitted Tuition Benefits page for details.
