Tuition

Tuition benefits are available through tuition credit, tuition remission and tuition assistance to eligible employees.

Tuition Credit is available immediately to full or part-time employees, their spouses, and dependent children up to age 26 at UMass Campuses (excluding the MD program at UMass Chan and the JD program at UMass Dartmouth) and UMass Online. The tuition credit benefit differs based on years of full-time service.

Tuition Remission is available after six months to full or part-time benefited employees, their spouses and dependent children up to age 26 and can be used at MA community colleges and state universities.

Tuition Assistance is available after six months to full-time, benefited employees who wish to take classes related to their present position and provides a reimbursement of a portion of the tuition cost.

Note: Graduate courses for spouse and/or dependent children are taxable to the employee.
