Tuition Waiver Program (TWP)

Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver

All permanent employees who are regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours each week, and have met their probationary period, are eligible to participate in the Tuition Waiver Program (TWP). The purpose of the TWP is to provide an opportunity for eligible employees to take a course and have the tuition and fees waived at North Carolina A&T State University or any of the other constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. Participation is voluntary. Tuition waiver is allowed for an academic year of fall semester, spring semester, and the summer sessions that follow, or courses taken as distance education. During the period from the fall semester through the second session of summer school, no more than three (3) classes may be approved. 

To participate in the program an employee must: 

1.Employment in a permanent UNC system position at least 30 hours per week, 9 months a year. 

2. Participation is limited to employees who meet the requirements for admission to the University and who have been duly admitted by the Office of Admissions.  

3. NC A&T, through its department heads, reserves the discretion to determine if any course, by itself or in combination with others, interferes with employment obligations.  

4. Courses are to be taken during non-working hours, if available. If courses are taken during the employee's normal working hours, time must be made up unless the class is directly work related. This determination is made by the employee's supervisor in consultation with the division Vice Chancellor.  

5. Temporary employees and adjuncts are not eligible for the tuition waiver.  

An application for tuition waiver must be completed for each semester or summer session a class is taken at N.C. A&T State University. Please click here to complete the application.
