Degree Program Enrollment.

Tuition remission is an important benefit extended for Boston University employees, and the School of Public Health encourages all staff and faculty to make the most of this benefit.

Employees who are also students must be cognizant of the balance between work responsibilities and student responsibilities. In general, staff are encouraged to take classes outside of business hours. When a course is scheduled for during business hours, staff must secure prior approval from their department chair and supervisor. The University reserves the right to refuse classes taken using Tuition Remission if they conflict with the needs of the department. Staff must report all courses taken, not only courses covered by the Tuition Remission Program, to determine if there is a conflict with the needs of their department.

Staff are not paid for attending a class during scheduled work hours.

Staff enrolled in more than eight credits in one semester must complete the credit exemption form in Employee Self-Service. This form must be approved by the staff member’s supervisor and Associate Dean for Administration and Finance.
