UUP Waiver

This program provides a 100% waiver of tuition (excluding fees) for one course each semester taken at any State-operated campus in the SUNY system (i.e. four-year SUNY schools).  Applicants must be admitted on a matriculated or non-matriculated basis.

Fredonia UUP Tuition Waiver Eligibility Requirements:

The current agreement between the State of New York and United University Professions, allows employees represented by UUP to enroll in courses at a SUNY college or university on a space-available basis without payment of tuition. The program is described below and subject to the following requirements:

1. Available to employees represented by United University Professions.
2. Enrollment is "space available." The University determines whether space is available. Employees may enroll in credit-bearing courses offered at State operated units of the State University of New York. Credit-free courses offered through the Office of Lifelong Learning are not applicable. Tuition paying students will receive preference. The following courses do not qualify for space available designation and cannot be exempted at 100% waiver: independent study, course by contract, special project, student teaching, courses where all slots are reserved by instructor permission, thesis.
3. Employees may request one waiver per semester (J Term, spring semester, one summer session and fall semester) for a total of four UUP Tuition Waivers a year. Part time employees who have completed four (4) consecutive semesters in a UUP-represented position that are not on payroll during the summer but worked during the spring semester and management confirms are expected to return to work in the fall may take courses during summer sessions.
4. All fees, other than tuition, shall be paid by the employee. Prior outstanding balances must be cleared before a UUP Tuition Waiver will be processed.
5. Employees must meet course prerequisites and academic regulations.
6. Employees must meet admission requirements.
