Eligibilty

(1) A full-time employee of the State of Tennessee or a member of the General Assembly shall be eligible to enroll in one (1) course at a time at any state supported institution without paying the tuition charge, maintenance fee, student activity fee, or registration fee. (2) Eligibility for the fee waiver shall be determined as of the first day of classes for the term at the institutions. To receive the fee waiver, the employee or the member of the General Assembly must be eligible for enrollment at the institution for which a fee waiver is sought according to the academic rules and regulations of the institution. The employee must also have six (6) months or more of continuous service as a full-time employee to receive the fee waiver. A change in employment status after the first day of classes will affect eligibility for the fee waiver only for subsequent terms. (3) A full-time employee of the State of Tennessee or a member of the General Assembly who is otherwise eligible for a waiver of tuition and fees pursuant to T.C.A. § 8-50-114 who is required to work more hours each week than typically required of full-time employment for at least four (4) weeks per year shall be exempt from the requirement that the waiver be used for only one (1) course at a time. Certification of eligibility for this exemption shall be completed by the applicant’s employer at the time of application for the waiver. Nothing in this section shall allow an employee to exceed enrollment in more than four (4) courses per academic year.
