This is a Board of Regents of the University System policy. The Board Policy provides several directives. Georgia Southern, as a University System institution, may waive tuition at GSU or reimburse employees for classes at other institutions, according to specified criteria.
Program is offered subject to space being available in courses and funds being available.
Employees must be eligible to participate, i.e. meet Admissions standards of the institution and maintain 2.0 AGPA or better, and will have to apply for tuition remission or reimbursement prior to registering for any classes. Employees who are currently recipients of or eligible for the Hope Scholarship are expected to continue in this program. When this is not possible, and your supervisor approves, you may take classes under the following conditions. During the 1998 tax year and historically, a university's tuition remissions and reimbursements to its employees for enrollment in undergraduate courses are excluded as income under the Internal Revenue Code. However, tuition remissions and reimbursements for enrollment in graduate courses may be reportable as income and could affect your take-home pay and the amount you pay in taxes.
