What is the Regents Tuition Benefit Program?
Through the program, full-time employees (75–100% appointment) can access undergraduate and graduate-level classes through the University. Employees can take classes through any University campus.
Employees who do not hold a bachelor’s degree can take classes for free if they have been accepted into a degree program. All other employees only pay 25% of the class cost.
