Education Benefits

All active, full-time (100% appointed) benefits-eligible employees, their spouses and eligible dependents can receive tuition discount benefits. Surviving spouses who have not remarried, and dependent children of employees who died while in full-time employment with the University, are also eligible.

You are eligible for discounts on the final day of regular registration following your continuous employment in a full-time position at the University for one complete fall or spring semester.

Employee: 50% discount for undergraduate courses ONLY; maximum of 132 discounted credit hours. No discount for graduate courses.

Spouse and eligible dependents: The discount your spouse and eligible dependents receive depends on the University of Arkansas System campus where they enroll for their course:

• If they enroll for a course given at the campus where you are employed: 50% tuition discount for undergraduate courses ONLY; maximum of 132 discounted credit hours. No discount for graduate courses
• If they enroll for a course given at other University of Arkansas System campuses: 40% discount for undergraduate courses ONLY; maximum of 132 discounted credit hours. No discount for graduate courses.

Note: Greater discounts may be available based on Chancellor or CEO approval. Contact your campus Human Resources office for more information.

As an employee, you cannot take more than eleven credit hours per semester at reduced rates, unless granted specific approval. Also, your enrollment and release from regular working hours, if required, must be approved by an authorized supervisor.
