We also noted that universities have the flexibility to reduce nonresident tuition charges for high achieving students from other states and countries. Outstanding Student Receivables State universities maintain receivable systems for accumulating and pursuing collection of outstanding tuition balances. Most universities diligently refer delinquent charges to collection agencies and revenue recapture, however, some universities do not. We noted that time frames for referral, collection agency rates, and methods to recover these costs vary between universities. Tuition Waivers Waived tuition is a unique benefit offered to university faculty, staff, and dependents.
Universities also provide tuition waivers to war orphans, wards of the state, and senior citizens.
We also found that duties at one university were not effectively segregated, and the receivable system does not distinguish waiver transactions.
