Tuition Waiver

Refer to Financial Aid for questions regarding how the tuition waiver may affect other financial resources you may be eligible to receive.  Requests for tuition waiver are submitted online except for employees and their spouse/DP that are enrolled in NMSU-Global courses and retiree requests. Waivers for Employee/Spouse/DP are requested at https://my.nmsu.edu/ and waivers for eligible children of employees are requested at https://tw.nmsu.edu/login.

Eligibility

 All requests must be received prior to waiver deadlines. Forms and requests received after the deadline will not be processed.

Regular employees and Term appointment employees hired at .5 FTE and above.

Newly eligible employees must be hired prior to the start date of classes.

Benefit eligibility is determined on the census date for the semester. If an employee or dependent ceases to be eligible on or before the census date, tuition waivers will be removed from student account.

Students holding a Graduate Assistantship or NM Legislative Lottery Scholarship are not eligible for this benefit.

Dependent must be recorded in the Banner system through Benefit Services to establish eligibility.  Proof of eligibility documentation is required. 

Any change to the student schedule results in a reversal of the waiver credit. A new waiver request must be submitted/approved prior to the deadline to recalculate taxability and apply the credit to the student account.

  • FALL semester - November 1st
  • SPRING semester - April 1st
