Rhodes provides employees with credit towards tuition for courses taken at Rhodes. Full-time employees may take 2 courses per semester with a full tuition waiver after 1 full year of employment. Part-time employees who work at least 18.75 hours per week are granted tuition credit on a pro-rata basis. Employees who are interested in this benefit should contact Admissions for a special application in addition to completing a Tuition Remission form.
The spouse and dependent children of full-time employees may be eligible for tuition credit as well. This benefit is phased in over a three-year period:
Full-Time Employment | Tuition Benefit |
1 year | 1/3 tuition waiver |
2 years | 2/3 tuition waiver |
3 years | Full tuition waiver |
Employees who would like to obtain the Rhodes benefit for their dependents should complete a Dependent Tuition Remission form at the same time their dependent completes an application for admission.
