Financial aid applications frequently take eight or more weeks to process. The Lifetime Learning tax credit reduces by 20 percent the cost of tuition and fees for college-level classes taken to improve or acquire job skills. Many companies in the St. Louis area pay all or a portion of their employees' tuition. Students should contact their supervisors or the personnel department at their places of employment to determine if such a plan is available. If the employer agrees to pay all or a portion of the student's tuition directly to University College, a written statement to that effect from the company must be presented at the time of registration.
Payment is required before the end of the semester.
Those making use of this privilege must provide a birth certificate or other official verification of age at the time of registration. This fund was raised as a memorial to the late Earnest S.
