Tulane University’s Tuition Waiver Program for 2018 spring semester form is now available and will close on Friday, February 16, 2018.

Below are the steps eligible employees should consider before submitting a waiver for you or your dependents:

  1. Register with Tulane University as a student in an approved Program
  2. Obtain a Student Banner #
  3. Register for classes
  4. Dependents should be listed in Self-Service and on your most recent tax return
  5. Apply in Gibson Online for a Tuition Waiver

For more information, please see page 105 of the Staff Handbook.

Please keep in mind:

  • Value of the waiver:
    • The amount of the waiver for a dependent will equal the total tuition for the courses, which the student is enrolled in for the semester at the time of posting.
    • The amount of the waiver for an employee is equal to two classes or six hours (with the two most expensive classes being credited first) at the time of posting.
  • If you have issues with the amount waived: Since students may be adding and dropping classes, the credit may not cover all of the courses available for wavier. If you have questions concerning the value of the credit, please contact: Account Receivable at 504-865-5368
