Eligible Retirees continue to receive access to valuable tuition benefits for themselves and their families.
Remitted Tuition provides credit hours for eligible retirees and their spouses/same-sex domestic partners for undergraduate and graduate study. Employees who retire from the University at age 55 and have at least five consecutive years of service as a Benefits Eligible Employee, upon retirement, may continue to be eligible for the same number of Remitted Tuition credit hours, valued at a full tuition waiver, as when actively employed.
Additional information about Remitted Tuition is available on our Remitted Tuition page.
Tax Implications
For information on remitted tuition taxability rules, including how the University’s Educational Assistance Plan affects such taxation, please refer to the Comptroller’s Office for a description of those rules.
