Tuition remission for full-time undergraduate study for eligible dependents covers tuition only;
the student must pay all fees.
Under no circumstances will the total financial package exceed the total need of the student.
Employees and their dependents who participate in the tuition remission program are not eligible
to receive other institutional aid, with the exception of the federal Pell grant, the federal work
study program, the federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), the federal
Perkins and direct loans (e.g. Stafford), and the Alabama State grant.
An employee with ten (10) or more years of continuous service who dies, retires, or becomes
disabled while employed by the College will continue to receive tuition benefits for dependent
children. A dependent spouse is eligible for tuition benefits for the years after the death or
disability, unless the dependent spouse enters upon a new marriage, at which time the benefits
will discontinue.
Application Submission and Deadline
Application for tuition remission must be submitted to Human Resources for eligibility approval.
The Tuition Remission form must be submitted annually during open enrollment (typically
November) for eligibility determination for the upcoming academic year.
Loss of Tuition Remission
Upon termination of employment with the College, the employee, spouse, and dependents(s) will
no longer be eligible for tuition remission, effective the end of the current enrolled academic
term.

The tuition remission eligibility guidelines for full-time undergraduate study outlined in the
tuition remission section above must be met for an employee’s dependent.

deadlines to determine participation guidelines and college options. The decision for tuition
exchange acceptance is determined by the receiving institution, not by Birmingham-Southern
College.
