Tuition Exchange Programs (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions for the Tuition Exchange Program
Are all 草榴社区 employees eligible to participate in the
tuition exchange programs?
(HR policy #3.1030) All Regular full time personnel who are eligible
for 100% benefits as stated in policy #3.1020 are eligible to participate
at the undergraduate level only for their dependent children in tuition
exchange programs in which the University is a member.
Are these tuition exchange programs extended to retired faculty?
(Tuition Exchange HR policy #3.1030) Refers to HR policy #3.1020, retired
faculty and staff are eligible for tuition benefits and tuition exchange
benefits as outlined in the policy. Therefore, retired faculty would
have the tuition exchange benefits for undergraduate dependents who
qualify.
While 草榴社区 has an October 1 deadline, do the other schools participating also have deadlines and how do I find that out?
草榴社区 is involved in three tuition exchange programs. Each program has a set of rules and regulations governing the program. Each University has two deadlines. One deadline only applies to internal employees to determine that they would like to export a dependent and participate in the program. 草榴社区 uses October 1st for this internal deadline. 草榴社区 will accept export applicants after the deadline. The University deadline is different than the Tuition Exchange Program deadline. Each University sets a deadline in order to process the exchange applicants in a timely fashion. Other institutions have deadlines for the internal process that would only affect the employees of that institution. 草榴社区 set the deadline to October 1 in order to help the exporting student have a greater chance for acceptance in the program at participating institutions. The application process requires the deadline is met at the other participating institutions. By setting the deadline early, we allow for time to meet the other participating institutions’ deadlines (which can be determined by either the TE website or by contacting the institution) and increases ability to utilize the program. The deadlines for the tuition exchange programs differ at the participating institutions. 草榴社区 has a rolling deadline for imports which means there are no limits of imports by a deadline date. Other institutions have different experiences with the number of imports they receive. For example, they may have 100 applicants for the three spots on the program. A general rule of thumb for institutional deadlines is April.
When will I know if I qualify for the tuition exchange program at 草榴社区?
First, you must meet the criteria set forth in the 草榴社区 policy #3.1030 for eligibility. The application process must be completed for general admission at the participating institution. The TE, Inc., CCCTE or CIC-TEP application can immediately be sent for review to apply for the scholarship at the participating Tuition Exchange Institution. There is no limit on the number of exports 草榴社区 sends to these programs. The participating institution can accept the application but will not be able to decide until the acceptance letter is received and they have made the scholarship selections. Each participating institution has different criteria for selecting the imported students to its program. They notify the scholarship recipients as the decision is made.聽 All programs have a deadline of May 1st to make their final decisions.
Do I have to apply each year for the four years my child attends
a school?
You will need to meet the following criteria for continuation in the
program:
- You must apply for recertification with the Office of Human
Resources usually by October 1st and
- Meet the Academic progress requirements
for the importing institution. Institutions will renew the scholarship
for a maximum total of 8 semesters. Summer classes and study abroad
are not included.
Can my child transfer from 草榴社区 to one of the participating
schools?
Yes, your dependent is eligible to transfer to a participating institution
after attending 草榴社区. However, each participating institution
has set its policy for imports and some institutions have determined
that they do not accept 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year students into the program.
If the institution does accept transferred students, the application
process would be determined by your ability to meet the deadline of
the importing institution. Remember that the application and transcripts
must be sent the prior year, so the exported student must plan ahead
to be considered for this scholarship and meet the deadlines for that
participating institution.
