Tuition Waiver

As a member of the Honors Program, you are eligible for tuition waiver of up to 6 semester hours of overload credit (above 18 hours for that semester).

To receive this tuition waiver, you must be enrolled in an HNRS course during the semester you are taking an overload.

An approved list of students entitled to a tuition waiver is sent to the Business Office two weeks after the start of each semester.
