DEADLINES Summer Semester – April 15th (includes Maymester) Fall Semester – July 15th (includes Decembermester) Spring Semester – November 15th ELIGIBILITY Employees must be continuously employed in a full- time benefited position (1.0 FTE) for at least six months prior to the applicable TAP deadline for that semester. WHAT IS TAP? The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) allows eligible employees to attend classes at any USG institution under a waiver of tuition and most fees. An employee may seek approval to enroll in up to nine (9) academic credit hours per semester.

APPLICATION PROCESS For KSU employees, TAP applications are submitted through the TAP portal at www.kennesaw.edu/hrtap . This online application process includes electronic routing to the employee's supervisor on record with Human Resources. Employees must submit and supervisors must approve TAP applications through the TAP portal prior to the application deadline for applications to be considered for the TAP waiver. Please note that a new application must be submitted each semester. Please Note: Due to the current shortage of nursing faculty in the state of Georgia, the Tuition Assistance Program is available to Part-Time Nursing Faculty members seeking a graduate degree in Nursing. Part-time faculty seeking to attend classes in Nursing must also complete the USG Nursing TAP application form which must be submitted to the University System Office. The paper application must be signed by both the employee and supervisor and returned to TAP@kennesaw.edu by the TAP application deadline for the applicable semester.
