820 Tuition Waivers |
|
|
 |
|
- In addition to waivers provided under subsection 2 of this policy, institutions may adopt procedures providing for waiver of tuition and fees. Institutions are encouraged to use this authority to promote enrollment of a culturally diverse student body, including members of Indian tribes and economically disadvantaged students, for the benefit of all students and the academic community, to promote enrollment of graduate students and research, and for other purposes consistent with an institution's mission. Institutions may grant partial waivers or waive non-resident or resident tuition. Institutions may also waive tuition and fees as part of a program guarantee under which the institution guarantees that graduates or program completers are minimally qualified for at least entry level positions in an occupation or job classification.
- Institutions shall waive tuition or fees as follows:
- Tuition and fees of the student member of the Board;
- Pursuant to N.D.C.C. §§ 15-10-18.2 and 15-10-18.3, tuition and fees shall be waived for dependents of resident veterans who were killed in action, died of service-related causes, were prisoners of war or declared missing in action, subject to the limitations stated in those statutes;
- Pursuant to N.D.C.C. §§ 15-10-18.4 and 15-10-18.5, tuition and fees shall be waived for survivors of firefighters, emergency medical services personnel or peace officers who died as a direct result of injuries received in the performance of official duties, subject to the limitations stated in those statutes;
- Pursuant to N.D.C.C. ch. 37-07.1, tuition shall be waived for qualified members of the national guard, subject to the limitations stated in that chapter and national guard rules; and
- Employee tuition waivers, including student activity fees, for a "benefited employee," as that term is defined in Policy 703.2. The waiver shall be limited to three academic classes during each calendar year. Employees may be released from work for one class each academic term with approval of the employee's supervisor or department head; approval shall be granted if it does not interfere with completion of the employee's essential job duties and the essential work of the institution. This waiver does not apply to continuing education or other self-supporting programs, except as provided by institution policy. Each institution shall adopt a policy defining circumstances under which the institution will grant employee tuition waivers, within the limits of this policy, for credit courses offered through continuing education or other self-supporting programs. Institutions shall record tuition waivers as a reduction of estimated income and prepare an annual report showing the number and type of tuition waivers and dollar amounts.
