Lehigh University Undergraduate Tuition Remission
Benefits for Lehigh Faculty and Staff Members
Lehigh University provides a 100 percent undergraduate tuition remission benefit for full time benefits eligible faculty and staff members. Eligibility for new employees begins after the first day of work however employment must begin on or before the first day of classes and continue through the end of the academic term in order to access the benefit.
For salaried faculty and staff members who are regularly scheduled to work at least 75 percent of a full-time schedule, the benefit is six credits per semester and six credits in the summer session. The maximum tuition benefit available to employees in this category is six credits per semester at Lehigh University or two undergraduate courses through the LVAIC Tuition Exchange Program. Employees who plan to participate in both benefit programs should contact Human Resources before enrolling to ensure that their planned course load does not exceed the combined benefit limit.
For salaried faculty and staff members who work less than 75 percent of a full-time schedule but at least 50 percent of a full-time schedule, the benefit is three credits per semester and three credits in the summer session. These courses may only be taken at Lehigh University.
Access to this employment benefit does not imply or guarantee that the employee will be admitted to Lehigh University. The Lehigh University admission process is highly competitive. The academic year undergraduate tuition benefit is available to those employees who have qualified for admission to the undergraduate program at the University.
Students are responsible for paying any fees or other expenses that may be associated with their enrollment at Lehigh University. The benefit does not apply to on-line or distance education courses that are also available in a traditional classroom format. If the course is only available in an on-line or distance education format, there may be additional fees imposed on the tuition remission student. See the Distance Education Tuition Remission policy regarding fees.
