Know Your Benefits: free tuition for employees

Spouses and dependents are also eligible for up to 12 credits of tuition benefits each term. Apply by Aug. 9.

There’s still time to take advantage of Metropolitan State University of Denver’s free tuition benefit program ahead of the Aug. 9 admission application deadline. Permanent employees, their spouses and/or dependents can also use the Employee Tuition Benefit.

Friday, Aug. 16 is the application deadline for the Employee Tuition Benefit for the fall semester without incurring penalties. No application will be reviewed after 6 weeks prior to the end of the term.

The Employee Tuition Benefit is set up to show appreciation to the MSU Denver community for its hard work. Those who are eligible for this program can have their tuition waived for up to 12 credits each semester.

Tuition Benefit process

  1. The student must apply for the Tuition Benefit each semester they would like to use the benefit. 
  2. Read the Tuition Benefit Rules and Procedures and attend an Employee Tuition Benefit Info Session. The information session is not required but is highly recommended.  
  3. Apply for University Admissions
  4. Register for classes. 
  5. Apply for the MSU Denver Employee Tuition Benefit: Username is the student’s NetID (your NetID is the first part of your email address — everything before the @ symbol).
