(To attend Dickinson College only)

Tuition remission for attendance to Dickinson College only is available to the employee, spouse, and all dependent children (natural or adopted) of any full-time member of the Dickinson staff. The definition of dependency is the same as that of the Internal Revenue Service in the declaration of dependents for income tax purposes.

Tuition remission is limited to a maxiumum of 32 courses (eight semesters and one summer class or the equivalent in part-time study), per individual and does not extend to course work taken after completion of the minimum requirements for the bachelor's degree, except for courses taken to complete the minimum requirements for teacher certification.

For a full-time employee who has completed one year of full-time service and who is admitted to the College under the regular admissions procedures, full tuition remission is provided.

For a full-time employee whose dependents are admitted to the College under the regular admissions procedures, tuition remission is provided according to the following schedule:

• After 12 months of employment, one-third tuition
• After 24 months of employment, two-thirds tuition
• After 36 months of employment, full tuition

All other fees beyond tuition, such as room and board, are your responsibility.

Eligibility for tuition benefits in no way guarantees admission to the College or obligates the Admissions Office to automatically admit Dickinson employees or their dependents. If your dependent is interested in attending Dickinson, you are strongly encouraged to set up an informational appointment with the Admissions Office prior to applying. This could be done as early as their freshman year in high school, but no later than the fall of their senior year in high school. Counseling services would be provided to the employee and the dependent about what it takes to be admitted to Dickinson and what the student needs to do to gain admittance.
