Chapter 7 - Faculty Compensation and Benefits

7.6 College Tuition Benefits

Calvin faculty members are entitled to one free college course per academic semester.

Spouses of full-time Calvin faculty members may audit, without charge, college courses other than laboratory courses, workshop courses, and courses in the applied arts. A waiver of one-half tuition is granted to the spouse of a full-time Calvin faculty member who takes a college course for credit. This waiver is limited to one course per semester.

Dependent children of faculty members that are attending Calvin are eligible for a waiver of a percentage of tuition (up to 80%). The plan is available to all eligible faculty with loads greater than or equal to 75% whose dependent children enroll at and attend Calvin. The waiver applies to employees only during the years of employment. An faculty on regular/tenure track apppointments are immediately eligible for this benefit. Faculty on term or other appointments earn 20 percent of the waiver for each year of full-time employment completed (up to a maximum waiver of 80% of tuition).

All questions regarding eligibility should be directed to the Director of Human Resources. Questions regarding calculation of the waiver and coordination of scholarships and grants should be directed to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
