The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The University of Dallas encourages all eligible employees to take advantage of the
opportunity to continue their studies and to provide an education for their family.
Applicable Waiting Time
The waiver is a benefit. Benefits eligible employees and their spouses may apply for the waiver 90 days following the employee’s date of hire or following the employee’s change to benefits eligible status. Dependents of newly eligible employees may utilize the waiver after a six month waiting period.
Credit Limits, Benefit Limits, and Limits on Class Times
Eligible employees may take two classes (6 hours) per semester and no more than 18 hours per calendar year. The only exception to the 6 hour limitation is in the case that it is required that a lab be taken concurrently with a class and the total credit hours actually equals 7 hours. Eligible spouses and dependents do not have a credit limit.
The tuition waiver covers 100% of the tuition for most courses offered by the University. The exception to this is the Experienced Professionals MBA (EPMBA) program. Tuition on the core courses of the EPMBA is covered at 60%.
The tuition waiver may not be used in conjunction with any other University scholarships or any University sponsored community education programs.
Full-time Staff and Regular and Affiliate Faculty may take only one class during normal work hours (8:00 a.m. – 5 p.m.) with their supervisor’s approval. Part-time employees must attend classes outside the normal work hours of their position.
