Note: As part of the Federal tax relief bill the tax status of graduate tuition waivers has changed. Beginning January 1, 2002, employees will no longer be taxed for classes they are taking, unless the recipient of the waiver benefit receives more than the threshold amount of $5,250.00 during the tax year. An employee will still be taxed on the value of the tuition waiver for a spouse or dependent taking graduate level classes.
NAU’s refund policy applies to tuition waivers granted under the Educational Aid Registration Permit (EARP). Classes dropped voluntarily after the refund period ends will remain taxable as long as the waiver meets the other criteria for taxation (currently 0% refund after the 14th calendar day for 8 to 16 week classes and after the 7th calendar day for 3 week, 5 week and dynamically dated classes.
