Hi MACRAO crew,
I have a residency question for the group.
I have a student who was a WUE recipient through Autumn 2018. He has since become a permanent employee (.75 FTE or greater) and has completed his 6 month probationary period as required for the faculty/staff tuition waiver. However, he won’t qualify for in-state tuition until Spring 2020 under the residency policy. He qualifies for the fac/staff tuition waiver in every other aspect starting Summer 2019, but it won’t disburse because he is not an in-state student. This essentially makes him ineligible to use the fac/staff tuition waiver for 6 months past his probationary period. Is this the case on all other campuses? If not, how do you handle this?
I’ve run into this situation a couple of times now, so I thought I’d run it by the group to see how it’s handled around the state.
Thanks!
