Academic Credit Courses

The Tuition Support Program is a benefit available to eligible University of Calgary employees and their families which allows them to participate in Academic credit course offerings at a reduced cost. Eligible employees from Academic, Senior Leadership, Support Staff and Management and Professional Staff groups may access the Tuition Support Program for University of Calgary academic credit courses taken by the employee, their spouse and dependent children.

An employee’s eligibility to participate in the Program depends on their employment group, part time or full time status, and whether their job is a term position or a permanent job. For example, Academic employees and their dependents may be eligible from the date of hire, while Support Staff and MaPS employees become eligible after six months, and their dependents, after one year. Confirm your eligibility by reviewing the Tuition Support Program overview page. 

The Tuition Support Program covers eligible tuition fees for Academic courses based on the current fee chart. Once eligibility is verified, the benefit amount is calculated according to the current fee chart and will be applied to the Student Account after the fee deadline. The student is responsible for any balance owing after the Tuition Support has been applied. The benefit will be applied towards tuition amounts only, and will not be approved for general fees, software, textbooks, registration or other costs. The difference between the total fees and the anticipated Tuition Support must be paid by the fee deadline to avoid late fees or negative impact on the Student Account.
