FUNDING OPTION - McMaster Staff Tuition Assistance
This Funding Option is for eligible McMaster University employees only.
This program assists with tuition costs to a yearly maximum, but does not cover total fees. You are responsible for payment of fees over and above the amount awarded by the payment due date of each session you register for.
A separate application for Staff Tuition Assistance must be completed for EACH registered session. The form can be downloaded by clicking the "Forms" button on the Payment Agreement or by clicking the Staff Tuition Assistance Form.
NOTE: Staff who do not complete the form or go through the approval process will not be awarded the assistance, and will be responsible for all tuition and supplementary fees as well as monthly interest charges.
Approval must be obtained first by your supervisor and then by Human Resources. Staff members must bring their approved form to HR for verification. A copy of the approved form will be forwarded by HR to Student Accounts and Cashiers for processing.
Staff members are required to:
- Pay the fees not covered by the assistance no later than the payment due date for that session (on the Payment Agreement)
- Review their student Account Statement to ensure payment has been made by HR (this may take a few weeks)
- Follow up with Student Accounts/HR if no assistance has been made to the student account (by a few weeks after course has begun)
