Tuition Remission Application Process for Fall 2011

You may now apply for tuition remission for Fall 2011 on the St. John’s University web site.  All eligible full-time employees (staff, administrators and faculty) requesting tuition remission benefits for themselves and/or their children/spouse must log on to the St. John’s University web site each semester to apply for the benefit.   

Please note that for staff and administrators, supervisors are not required to sign employees’ form to enroll in educational courses. However, it is understood that tuition remission courses for employees are intended to be taken outside of normal work hours.  In the event that employees wish to take a class during working hours, they must secure prior approval from their supervisor. 

For additional information regarding the University’s Tuition Remission policy, administrators and staff should refer to policy #608 in the HR Policy Manual, available on the HR Intranet site or the Employee Handbook.  Faculty can obtain applicable policy from the Office of Student Financial Services.

Once you have completed the Tuition Remission application on the web, the student’s account will automatically be credited.  The Office of Student Financial Services will contact you only in the event that there is a question.

If you have any questions regarding tuition remission eligibility requirements, you may contact  Patricia Dorrian at Human Resources Services at extension 8191.

For information on the application process, please contact Ms. Diane Peck, Associate Director of Student Financial Services at extension 5745.
