SECTION 6 - EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS
6.1 Tuition Remission for Employees
Regular and special full-time and part-time employees are eligible for the full abatement of tuition and the application fee for up to two regular academic courses per semester at the College if their supervisors give approval, the courses will not interfere with work assignments and the employee's make up any lost scheduled work hours. Exceptions to this policy as to the number of courses taken may be made only with the written recommendations of the employee's supervisor and the Provost. Employees may also take a regular academic class in summer school if the minimum number of paying students have enrolled for the course. For both summer and regular semester courses, employees must meet the standards appropriate for each course and the course section must have available seats.
Retired employees may also take up to two regular academic courses per semester contingent upon space availability.
6.2 Tuition Remission for Dependents
After a regular or special full-time employee has completed one year of full-time service to the College, and if that employee is responsible for the educational expenses of the dependent children, as defined by the IRS, that employee's dependent children and/or spouse become eligible for a remission of tuition (not including fees, room and board) at the College, including tuition for summer academic courses. Tuition remission for study abroad programs are limited to degree seeking students at Randolph-Macon College only.
Dependent children, as defined by the IRS, of currently employed regular part-time employees are eligible for a 50% tuition remission provided the employee has worked for the College at least ten years consecutively and provided further that she/he has worked at least ten hours per week.
Dependent children, as defined by the IRS, of a retired, totally disabled, or deceased employee who completed 10 or more consecutive years of full-time service to the College and who retired, died or became totally disabled while employed at Randolph-Macon are eligible for a remission of tuition (not including fees, room and board) at the College, including tuition for summer academic courses.
Such dependents must, of course, meet the usual standards of admission in effect at the time of their applications, and must pay the regular application fee. Applicants wishing to be considered for other financial assistance based on need must submit the appropriate Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Details are available from the Financial Aid Office.
It should be noted that the maximum total of all Randolph-Macon non-need based awards (i.e. scholarships, family grants, minister's family grants, pre-ministerial grants, employee tuition remission, and tuition exchange) plus the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant may not exceed tuition.
6.3 Tuition Exchange for Dependents
After a regular or special full-time employee has completed one year of full-time service to the College, and if that employee is responsible for the educational expenses of the dependent children, as defined by the IRS, that employee's dependent children become eligible, through the Tuition Exchange Plan, to attend other participating colleges and universities on a tuition-free basis (not including fees, room and board), depending upon the import-export balance existing at Randolph-Macon and the other institutions. Dependents must, of course, meet the usual standards of admission in effect at the participating institutions at the time of their applications. Application details are available from the Financial Aid Office.
