Eligible Staff
The University of Calgary benefit program provides development opportunities through the tuition support plan. The Tuition Support Program is a benefit available to eligible University of Calgary employees and their eligible dependents, allowing them to participate in academic courses at the University of Calgary at a reduced cost. Eligible employees also have the opportunity to take non-credit courses offered through Continuing Education.
Eligible staff members may use tuition support benefits to support their continued education in academic credit courses offered at the University of Calgary for themselves and their eligible dependents. The staff member must be eligible prior to the start date of the session, but the benefit is based on their status on the fee deadline.
Applications for this benefit must be submitted by the tuition fee deadline for each session in according to the academic schedule. The application form for the winter 2025 session will open in late December and the fee deadline is January 31, 2025

Eligible staff members may use tuition support benefits towards University of Calgary Continuing Education courses.
