TUITION REMISSION PROGRAM FOR
DEPENDENT CHILDREN OR SPOUSE/DOMESTIC PARTNER

A. General Program Description
The tuition waiver program provides partial waiver of tuition costs at New Jersey City
University for eligible dependent children of full-time University employees. To receive
this waiver the student must fulfill the academic and administrative requirements for
admission, apply for all available State and Federal grants and scholarships, and receive a
passing grade. The cost of tuition only is waived. If the student does not receive a passing
grade for the course(s) for which the waiver has been granted, reimbursement to the
University for all-waived-costs will be required. Until this is done no other waivers will
be granted. All fees and additional charges are the responsibility of the student. If a
parent dies while employed in an eligible position and if the student was admitted or
enrolled at the time of the parent’s death the student will be eligible until completion of
the baccalaureate degree.
B. Definition of Dependent Children

meet the qualifications for independent student status.

prior to the start of the first day of the semester. Faculty members must be in tenure track
lines. Unclassified employees must be in one year or multi rear contracts. Classified

Employees must remain in active full-time status. If the employee fails to maintain active

the status changed.
