This waiver pertains to any person 62 years of age or older who has been accepted for admission, provided this person is (1) enrolled in a degree-granting program or, (2) for a person not enrolled in a degree program, provided, at the end of the regular registration period (on or after the first day of classes), there is space available in the course in which the person intends to enroll. Students must be a Connecticut resident and 62 years old prior to the beginning of the term they wish to enroll in. The waiver is only available for fall and spring semesters, with the exception of specific cohort programs, and applies to both undergraduate and graduate tuition.  The waiver may be applicable in certain fee-based graduate programs up to the cost of full-time in-state graduate tuition. The senior tuition waiver generally does not apply to students in graduate certificate programs. A comprehensive list of those programs is available here under the "Fee-Based Programs" heading.  

For any person who receives a tuition waiver and also receives educational reimbursement from an employer, the waiver is reduced by the amount of the educational reimbursement.

Please contact studentbilling@uconn.edu for any questions. For registration inquiries, please contact the Office of the Registrar.  

Employee Tuition Waivers are used for selected courses taken by certain employees defined by collective bargaining agreements and Board of Trustee actions at any of the University of Connecticut campuses. Tuition waivers ONLY cover tuition or a partial waiver of a standalone credit fee program, which is equivalent to tuition for graduate level courses on space available basis. Waivers cannot be applied to any mandatory fees, books, registration fee, application fees, etc., which the student may incur.

It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to the fee bill and enrollment deadlines set forth by the offices of the Bursar and the Registrar. Tuition benefit administrative deadlines and processes outlined by Human Resources have been put in place to provide time for processing and approval of employee tuition benefit applications as per collective bargaining agreements.  Once waiver is approved please allow 4-7 business days for Bursar’s Office to post waiver to account. Please contact the Bursar and/or the Registrar’s offices for enrollment and fee bill questions.

Additional information regarding Collective Bargaining Agreement and Board of Trustee waivers can be found on the Human Resources website.
