Tuition Waivers

Continue to grow by increasing your educational opportunities. BYU-Idaho offers tuition waivers for full- and part-time employees, retirees, spouses, and dependents.

Request a Tuition Waiver

To begin receiving your tuition waiver, to make a change, or to verify how much of the waiver is remaining submit a request through the Tuition Waiver Request Form. It will guide you through the process of setting up or changing your waiver. The tuition waiver will continue to apply automatically to BYU-Idaho students every semester when classes are taken (unless otherwise indicated) until the credit limit is reached or the employee, spouse, or dependents become ineligible.

Tuition Waiver System

Employee

BYU-Idaho offers tuition waiver benefits for employees to assist in their professional development and lifelong learning. This benefit is subject to certain types of employment. For a list of employment types and the amount of tuition waiver they receive, please refer to the following list.

Full-time Employees: Full-time employees are eligible to receive a tuition waiver for up to 6 credits per semester.
Part-time Employees: Certain part-time employees are also eligible for a tuition waiver, covering up to 4 credits per semester.
On-campus Adjunct Faculty: On-campus adjunct faculty members are eligible for a tuition waiver equal to the number of load hours they are currently teaching, with a maximum cap of 4 credits.
Non-benefited Temporary Employees: Tuition waiver benefits do not extend to unbenefited temporary employees, including call-in temporary employees and limited temporary employees.
Online Instructors: Online instructors are not eligible for the tuition waiver benefit.

In order to receive the tuition waiver benefit please fill out a request using the Tuition Waiver Request Form or feel free to add your own waiver using the Tuition Waiver System. Please note that the waiver is not applied automatically for employees.

Dependents

***The tuition waiver benefit only covers the tuition cost. All other fees, such as books and internship fees, do not apply. The number of credits dropped after the add/drop deadline will reduce at a prorated amount commensurate with the tuition charged.

For Dependents Attending BYU-Idaho:

Dependent students only need to submit an initial tuition waiver request.
Once the initial waiver request is approved, dependent students will have the ability to log in to the Tuition Waiver System and manage their waivers independently for future semesters.
Dependents are eligible for up to 76 credits of waiver as long as they are under age 30, and pursuing an undergraduate degree.

For Dependents Attending Other CES Institutions:

A tuition waiver request must be submitted at the beginning of each Fall semester. This request will apply to both the Fall and Winter semesters.
If dependents plan to attend Spring or Summer semesters, a separate waiver request must be submitted.
If the waiver is needed to cover tuition for Spring and Summer semesters, please fill out an additional request for these semesters, please use the Tuition Waiver Request Form to make this request.
Dependents are eligible for up to 76 credits of waiver as long as they are under age 30, and pursuing an undergraduate degree.

Retirees and Their Spouses

Retired employees with at least 10 years of service, their spouses, and dependent children are eligible for tuition waivers. Part-time retired employees also qualify for these benefits.

Eligibility

Employees, their spouses, and their dependents are eligible for a tuition waiver immediately after hire. Spouses and dependents of retired employees are also eligible for the same tuition waiver as if the employee were actively employed.
