Tuition Waiver (Undergraduate)

Undergraduate tuition will be waived for courses taken at Berkeley by children of full-time faculty with two or more consecutive years of service. In addition, spouses, civil union partners, and parents of full-time faculty with two or more consecutive years of service will be given a 50 percent tuition reduction at Berkeley.

Faculty members are eligible to enroll in Berkeley's undergraduate courses on a space-available basis. For courses started after six months of employment, undergraduate tuition will be waived. Attendance in courses cannot interfere with the faculty member's work schedule. 

Faculty members and/or their children/spouses/civil union partners/parents may not enroll in a degree program at a level that they have already earned and/or a lower level than they have earned previously. 

In order to receive the tuition waiver benefit, Berkeley College faculty members and/or their children/spouse/civil union partners/parents enrolled in an academic program must be in good academic standing. Please consult the academic standards for specific degree program information on the criteria needed to remain in good academic standing. 

The Berkeley Grant will be applied after all federal and state grants, external and/or institutional scholarships, and VA benefits have been applied. (Housing, books, supplies, and graduation fees are not included). In order to receive the Berkeley Associate Grant, a student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), meet all federal and state grant application deadlines each year, and the College must receive a valid institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) for that student. 

Tuition Waiver (Graduate) 

Full-time faculty are eligible for this benefit after completion of one year of service, with the supervisor's and President's approval. The supervisor's approval may be granted if the course of study relates to the faculty member's current or pertinent future position with the organization. The faculty member must meet the requisite academic requirements for Admissions to the program. The annual performance review will also be reviewed by the supervisor to determine if the faculty member is approved for the graduate program. The President of the College will make the final approvals for the academic term based upon the above criteria. Each semester, there are a limited number of openings for associates/faculty members in the M.B.A. and M.S.N. programs. 

Faculty members may not enroll in a degree program at a level that they have already earned and/or a lower level than they have earned previously.
