The University of Virginia is committed to the continued professional and personal development of faculty and staff. Full-time faculty, staff, and health care professionals may enroll in one course per academic term without paying normal tuition and required fees. The Department of Organizational Development and Training along with the Bursar's Office administers the Tuition Waiver program. The Director of Organizational Development and Training reviews all tuition waiver requests for compliance and completion. The Bursar's Office ensures that all tuition waivers are applied.
Department heads determine availability of leave time.
The discretion normally exercised by faculty and administrators in admitting any student into any course is not to be constrained by this policy. Applicants may have tuition and required fees waived for one course and required lab each semester. Application fees, special course fees, drop fees and readmission fees are to be paid by the employee. Required fees for the purposes of this policy are those fees defined by the Bursar to be required. This includes activity fees and school fees.
