Tuition Benefit

UNB may waive full or partial tuition fees for eligible employees and spouses or children of eligible employees. In this situation, tuition and compulsory fees are initially charged to the student's account. The employee must then apply to Human Resources for the tuition benefit by submitting a completed tuition waiver application (available from the Human Resources office) by the appropriate deadline. Failure to submit this form in a timely manner may result in loss of eligibility.

Once the tuition benefit application has been approved by Human Resources, Financial Services will credit the student's account with the approved benefit amount. Please note that the tuition benefit covers tuition only: the student is responsible for all compulsory fees and remaining tuition charges. The student is also responsible for any additional fees associated with taking an Open Access course.

The tuition benefit is a taxable benefit for the employee. Because of this, Canadian Pension Plan payroll deductions will be adjusted on a quarterly basis to reflect this benefit. Questions regarding payroll deductions should be directed to the Payroll office.
