Fee Waivers

Step 1. Fee Waiver Initiation

Once accepted for enrollment, you can take advantage of the tuition discount. At least 20 days prior to class beginning, submit the completed fee waiver by scan to utfihr@utk.edu for processing.
For any campus outside of UT Knoxville, you must submit a fee waiver request every semester for the discount to be applied. UT Knoxville only requires one fee waiver during enrollment.

Step 2. Completed Form

You will receive the fee waiver via campus mail if located in Knoxville. You will receive by USPS mail for areas outside of Knoxville. The completed form should be turned in to the campus Bursar’s Office of enrollment at the beginning of the semester.

Step 3. Taxes

Employees are eligible to take graduate classes. For graduate level classes, taxes charged for tuition may be eligible to be waived for classes that are job related. The Job Related Tuition Waiver may be completed and turned in to the payroll office each semester.

Forms: Knoxville Area and UTM Employee Fee Waiver Forms, UTHSC Employee Fee Waiver Forms,  Dependent Fee Waiver Form, Job Related Tuition Tax Waiver Form

 

Alternative Work Arrangement

AWA may be necessary to meet operational needs or requested by staff for personal reasons. AWA must comply with state and federal law and must be documented in writing. These AWA may include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Flexible schedule – a flexible schedule may include a compressed work week (i.e. four 10-hour work days) or varying work hours outside of normal UTFI office hours of Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time where the staff member works (i.e. 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.).
  • Telecommuting – Telecommuting is an arrangement that allows a staff member to perform some work at a location other than the office. This may be a regular or occasional schedule based on department need or that of the staff member.
  • Job sharing – Two or more staff may share responsibilities of a single position at less than full time effort. Both are responsible to share accountability of the role. (i.e. 2 staff work 2.5 days each per week to fulfill one full time position need).

AWA may be instituted as a regular ongoing schedule or temporarily based on the need or preference of a staff member, or, on the needs of UTFI (for example a weather event or response to emergency needs). Temporary is considered excess of 5 days up to 3 months duration.
