Tuition and fee waivers are provided, under the following
conditions, for cooperating teachers and administrators who receive assignment
of practice teachers, who receive assignment of students meeting the
"clinical experience" requirement in teacher education curricula, or
who cooperate in research projects related to teacher education. Such
persons who register in university courses are exempt from both tuition and the
service fee for one term. Tuition and fee waivers are available for use within four consecutive terms beginning with the term immediately following the term in which the person qualified for the waiver.
Effective January 15, 2009, except in the Chicago Public
School System, in school districts that accept a total of ten or more practice
teachers or students meeting the "clinical experience" requirement in
teacher education curricula, one-tenth of all tuition and fee waivers may be
assigned to a district pool. In the Chicago Public School System, in schools that accept a
total of eight or more practice teachers or students meeting the "clinical
experience" requirement in teacher education curricula, one-eighth of all
tuition and fee waivers may be assigned to school-level pool. The district will develop its own policy for distribution of pooled waivers. Pooled waivers can be distributed to any full-time district employee who wishes to enroll in courses at any of the three universities, except for cooperating personnel or listed administrators who already received tuition waivers.
The exemption shall apply to the semester or summer session of registration, as designated by the student, which follows the term of service, but must be applied not later than four terms (including summer as a single term) from the end of the term service. Concurrent registration on more than one campus of the university or in university extramural courses constitutes one semester or summer session of eligibility for exemption. Use of tuition and fee waivers is contingent upon admission to one of three campuses of the University of Illinois and/or to one of their academic programs. The tuition and fee waiver will be accepted at any of the three campuses, with the understanding that campuses may reserve the right to restrict the use of waivers.
