Tuition waiver

If you are granted a tuition waiver under either of the above categories, this does not include entitlement to pursue a course or courses during your regular working hours. Requests for leaves or for flexible hours arrangements need to be pursued through the normal processes, beginning with your supervisor.

• Spouse/partner: may be eligible for a tuition waiver applied to any one university credit course per semester, provided no fee-paying student is displaced. 
• Dependent(s): may be eligible for a tuition waiver applied to up to five university credit courses per semester, provided no fee-paying student is displaced. 

The waiver does not include fees for ancillary, Student Union Society, the Cascade Newspaper or the application for admission. Spouse/partner and dependents must also pay the registration deposit fee. If the waiver is granted, this fee will be refunded. If your partner/spouse or dependents withdraws from a course or courses, they are responsible for any refund penalties assessed. 

Your partner/spouse or dependents are responsible for paying outstanding balances on their student account by the fee payment deadline each semester, whether or not a waiver is granted.

• Continuing Education courses or programs and cost recovery programs are not eligible for tuition waiver.
• Courses that are part of Limited Enrolment Cohort programs, unless there are spaces available in the program after all qualified fee-paying applicants have been registered.
• UFV Trades Programs are eligible for waivers only as approved on an individual application basis. The dean may make a decision to grant a waiver within the first week of classes provided no enrolled or waitlisted fee-paying applicant will be displaced as a result.
