Employee Tuition Remission. Application Form. Governing Guidelines and Restrictions Tuition Remission for eligible employees will cover the balance due of tuition charged less any scholarships or grants creditable toward tuition. Employees are responsible for paying all other fees. In some circumstances, graduate tuition may be regarded as taxable income. If you are a regular full-time employee and have an appointment of nine months or more duration, you, your spouse, and your dependent children are eligible to participate in the Tuition Remission Program.

Employees whose percentage time worked decreases below the eligibility requirements for the Tuition Remission Program will no longer be able to participate in the benefit plan.

Your eligible dependent children are those whom you claim as exemptions on your federal income tax return during the calendar years in which they are enrolled in undergraduate degree programs at Boston University.
