eServices Online Tuition Waiver System: https://eservices.minnstate.edu/tw/waiver/summary.do?campusid=306

• Tuition waivers must be submitted within 10 days of the course start date. Waivers submitted after this deadline will not be processed.

• To check the status of your waiver, log back into the Tuition Waiver System. HR will update the system once your waiver is processed. No hard copy confirmation will be provided, so it's important to monitor the system.

• Tuition waiver eligibility is based on the academic year (fall, spring, summer). Eligibility resets each fall, and unused credits from previous academic years do not carry over.

• You or your dependent should review billing information to ensure the tuition waiver is applied correctly and processed on time.

• You may update your tuition waiver to reflect:

  • A change in academic level (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral)

  • A change in the number of credits

  These changes can be made at any time, whether before or after HR processes the waiver. HR will be notified of any updates.

• For any other changes beyond level or credit count, the waiver must be canceled and re-entered.

• The number of credits requested should match the number of credits actually taken. For example, if you initially requested 12 credits but only enrolled in 9, you must return to the system and adjust the waiver accordingly.
