While many parts of our lives are uncertain right now, one thing that will remain consistent is the Metropolitan State University of Denver employee tuition benefit. This program provides a tuition reduction toward undergraduate courses for benefits-eligible employees and their dependents and spouses. Applications are being accepted for spring.

Important information on the tuition benefit, including the Tuition Benefit Rules and Procedures, can be found on the Learning and Development communication site. This site is public and open to anyone with an MSU Denver email (no request to join is required). You can also check the Learning and Development Calendar for any upcoming Employee Tuition Benefit Information Sessions.

Here are four things you need to know to stay up to date on the employee tuition benefit:

1. The deadline for the spring tuition-benefit application is 15. Students must apply for the tuition benefit every semester they would like to use it.
2. Students must register for classes prior to applying for the benefit. Visit the Office of the Registrar or Academic Advising if you need assistance registering for classes.
3. Students using the benefit are responsible for paying mandatory fees. Visit the Bursar’s Tuition and Fees website for the latest tuition-and-fees table.
4. Follow the Learning and Development communication site to find news, tools, resources and benefits that support personal growth, professional development and organizational wellness.

The tuition-benefit team – a cross-departmental group from Learning and Development, Financial Aid, the Office of the Bursar, Admissions, the Office of the Registrar and Information Technology Services – is dedicated to equity and accessibility.
