State Employee Tuition Fee Waivers

In order to register for classes, a student must be admitted to the University. Students who have not been enrolled for one year or more must re-apply for admission. State employees must meet current admission criteria and application deadlines. Students may apply online at UWF Admissions. State employees must only register during the state employee registration period if requesting a waiver of tuition.

Students may search for courses online using the Course Search app in MyUWF. The online course search lists courses which are offered in a specific semester or term. This service allows students to search for courses in a variety of ways, including by instructor, location, days and/or times, and campus. Course and reference numbers must match the course name(s) listed on the UWF State Employee Tuition Fee Waiver to ensure the appropriate fees are waived.

Each semester of participation, students must submit a new UWF State Employee Tuition Fee Waiver form after course registration. Students are responsible for outstanding fees for course(s), which do not match the authorized waiver form. In such cases, appropriate late registration fees and late payment fees will also be assessed.  The Cashiers Office will have the waiver applied toward the account balance during the first week of class.      

 

 

 

Students may register as soon as the third (3rd) week of registration. You may see the upcoming registration dates on our Academic Calendar.

Once the State Employee registration period begins, the Office of the Registrar will review submitted forms for registration compliance and remove any late registration fees. The Cashier's Office will verify employment and eligibility requirements and process tuition waivers. State Employee tuition fee waivers will be processed through the end of the drop/add period.

Please do not attempt to register prior to the State Employee registration dates or the waiver of tuition is not applicable.
