How many classes are eligible to be waived using the Tuition Waiver?

An employee or his/her dependent child, spouse or domestic partner may enroll in a maximum of two classes or six units, whichever is greater, per term. Students taking courses in addition to the fee waiver courses shall pay any difference in fees, per applicable collective bargaining agreement or Executive Order 712. All other fees shall be at the regular rate.

Examples:

  • If a student is enrolled in two 1-unit courses, his/her part-time tuition is waived
  • If a student is enrolled in two 4-unit courses, his/her full-time tuition is waived
  • If a student is enrolled in more than two courses, his/her part-time tuition is waived; the full tuition is not waived
  • If a student is enrolled in two 4-unit courses and one 1-unit course (three courses, totaling 9 units), then he/she is in more than two courses, the part-time tuition fee is waived and the student would have to pay the difference between the full and part-time tuition plus any other applicable fees.
