Qualified Tuition Reduction/Educational Assistance Program

• For eligible active and officially retired employees, their spouses and qualified dependents

The Arizona Board of Regents provides a Qualified Tuition Reduction (QTR) and Educational Assistance Program (EAP) that enables eligible individuals to enroll in courses of study at reduced registration fees. The QTR/EAP is reciprocal among the three state universities and may be used for regular semesters (Spring and Fall), winter session or summer sessions (Pre-Session/Summer I and Summer II).

Eligible individuals and their spouses may register for one to nine (1 to 9) credit hours per regular semester or for one to six (1 to 6) credit hours per summer session at the reduced tuition rate of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), plus any laboratory or course fees.  Eligible dependent children who register for one (1) or more credit hours will pay twenty-five percent (25%) of resident tuition plus any laboratory or course fees. 

Please carefully read and follow the eligibility guidelines and procedures and deadlines to ensure that your application is processed in a timely and efficient manner.

The last day to submit an application for the QTR/EAP program is the 35th day of classes for the fall and spring semesters for which the tuition reduction will be applied. 

Deadline for Fall 2011 Semester:  September 26, 2011
