The following is a message from Human Resources Development (HRD).
Please be advised that there has been an update to the Staff Employment Manual, Chapter 5.12 -- Tuition Remission and Other Educational Benefits. The update, outlined below, can be found on page 5.12-2(d) and provides clarification on the Study Abroad Program as follows:
Tuition remission benefits apply only in limited circumstances to study abroad programs. Tuition remission covers only the tuition of a study abroad program, and not travel or any other expenses associated with the program.
The University of Hartford (UH) categorizes four different models of study abroad, with each treated differently under the University's current Tuition Remission Policy. Please see below for the four models of study abroad.
i. Short-term UH Programs. The use of tuition remission for a short-term UH program is allowed if the program achieves the required minimum tuition-paying enrollment. A student eligible for tuition remission applying to participate in a short-term UH study abroad program may deposit as a tuition-paying student and, if the required minimum enrollment is met, tuition remission benefits will apply under the terms of the policy. If a student eligible for tuition remission does not choose to deposit as a tuition-paying student, the student will be placed on a waiting list for the program pending the required minimum enrollment.
ii. UH Semester Course with Embedded Study Abroad Component. Tuition remission applies only to the tuition component of a UH semester-length course with an embedded study abroad component.
iii. One-to-one Exchange Programs with Partner Universities Abroad. Tuition remission (and the Tuition Exchange Program) may be used only for the tuition portion of these one-to-one exchanges.
iv. Third-party Programs. Tuition remission does not apply to approved study abroad programs conducted by third party providers or direct enroll programs.
For further information on the Study Abroad programs, please contact the International Center at 768.5100.
