YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE UPDATES TUITION WAIVER POLICY FOR FACULTY AND STAFF

Allows full-time faculty and staff (and the Blog assumes their dependents) to take as many credits as they need without having to pay tuition; Part-time faculty and staff also will benefit by 6 credit per semester waiver

Yavapai Community College president Dr. Lisa Rhine has announced a tuition waiver update for faculty and staff. It was not clear whether the benefit is immediately available or faculty and staff must wait until spring 2024.

According to a video message sent to faculty, full-time faculty and staff will have the current 6-credit cap per semester removed. This means that full-time employees (and the Blog assumes their dependents) will be able to take as many credits as they need using the tuition waiver.

Regular part-time staff will be eligible for a tuition waiver of 6 credits per semester for the employee and 6 credits per semester for dependents.

Casual part-time staff may earn eligibility for the first time as of April 1,2024. To qualify, they will need to have worked at Yavapai Community College  for one year or more and have a minimum of 500 hours of work in the 12 months prior to April 1, 2024.
