Dependent Children The University provides remission for 100% of the basic tuition and mandatory fees (exclusive of course- specific fees and other related charges, i.e. books, supplies, room and board) for enrollment in the undergraduate program at UNA for eligible dependent children of eligible full-time regular employees or retirees during fall and spring terms. The University provides remission for 75% of the basic tuition and mandatory fees (exclusive of course-specific fees and other related charges, i.e. books, supplies, room and board) for enrollment in the undergraduate program at UNA for eligible dependent children of eligible full-time regular employees or retirees during summer terms. Qualifying children are eligible for the tuition remission benefit if a parent meets the eligibility guidelines above. Eligible children are those who meet all the following conditions: • Are the natural children, stepchildren, or legally adopted children of the eligible employee who: ▪ Are dependents of the employee as determined by eligibility for federal income tax purposes, by a qualified child support order, or by other appropriate definitions (birth certificate, certificate of adoption, marriage certificate – for stepchildren, etc.); ▪ Have not received or completed requirements for a baccalaureate or equal degree from a four- year degree granting institution; ▪ Are eligible for admission and matriculation under existing university policies; and ▪ Have not reached their 26 th birthday prior to the term for which they will next enroll. This benefit is limited to the maximum of the necessary number of credits to obtain one baccalaureate degree (including reasonable double major and approved minor programs of study), but not to exceed ten semesters. Enrollment for any credit during a spring or fall term constitutes a full term of entitlement. Summer and interim terms are counted as one-half of a semester for this purpose. Spouses The spouse of an eligible employee is eligible for remission of tuition and fees for one course per fall and spring semesters and summer sessions under the same provisions as stipulated for employees above, except for continuing education courses.
Remission of tuition for special programs of study for a qualifying spouse will be one half that of an employee.
