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 each semester.

To participate in the Tuition Waiver Program, you should complete a Tuition Waiver Request within ten (10) days of the beginning of the semester and email to HRBenefits@occc.edu. The Tuition Waiver Request Form can be located on the Employee Portal under “Benefits Forms”.

Once the Tuition Waiver is approved, it 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 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.
