Educational Assistance and Fee Waiver

The University of Tennessee offers educational assistance to its regular employees and their spouses and dependent children.

Employees

Full-time regular faculty and staff may enroll without payment of maintenance fees for up to a maximum of nine undergraduate or graduate credit hours per term/semester. Part-time regular faculty and staff working 50 percent time or more may enroll without payment of maintenance fees based upon their percent of effort.  In addition, state law provides full-time regular employees with a fee waiver for one course for credit per term at any state supported college, university, or area vocational-technical school.

A student fee discount is provided for employees’ spouses and dependent children who are classified as undergraduate students at approved state of Tennessee schools and to encourage such qualified students to attend the university.
