Tuition Remission
 

Q:  How do I get approval for fee remission for myself or my dependent who will be taking classes at Wright State? How long does it take to go into effect?
A:  Fee remission is an employee benefit for employees appointed at or above 75% FTE.  Notify your Human Resources Operations Analyst if you have eligible dependents for whom you are requesting fee remission.  Once that notification is processed, eligibility is established in the Bursar's office the next business day.
