How do you participate in the Tuition Waiver Program?

Tuition waivers are not automatically applied and must be requested by the employee prior to the beginning of every semester.

To participate in the TuitionWaiver Program you will need to complete a Tuition Waiver Request before each semester. The Tuition Waiver Request form can be located at the Employee Portal under “HR Forms” and “Employee Benefits”.

Once the waiver has been approved, you will be notified by e-mail. A copy of this approval will be submitted to the Bursar’s office for the waiver to be placed on the student’s account. It is the employee’s responsibility to contact the Bursar’s office prior to the semester starting to ensure the waiver has been applied.

Per OCCC’s policy, any student who withdraws from the class prior to completion or fails to earn a grade of C or the equivalent will be required to reimburse the College for the tuition waived for the semester.
