TUITION WAIVER REQUESTS

Now you can submit your Tuition Waiver Requests on-line.

It’s easy … just log into MyCCRI and click on the “For Employee” tab.
Click on Tuition Waiver Request, which appears last on the list of options.
Enter the relevant information on the form and then submit.

What happens next? The Tuition Waiver Request is forwarded to the Office of Human Resources for approval (electronically … no need to hand carry or mail it to us any longer). If you are submitting a waiver for yourself and are taking classes during your normally scheduled work hours, it will go electronically to your supervisor for approval first.

Once the Tuition Waiver Request has been approved by the Office of Human Resources, you will receive confirmation through your CCRI email account letting you know your waiver has been approved. Keep a copy for your records.

And some more good news! The approved Tuition Waiver Request also is automatically emailed to the Bursar’s Office at the appropriate school, whether CCRI, RIC or URI! No need to hand carry or mail forms to them any longer!

Click here for some helpful step-by-step instructions to get you started with the electronic Tuition Waiver Request.

If you need help or encounter any problems at all, feel free to contact the Office of Human Resources at 825-2311.

The one-on-one counseling sessions can help you sort things out and make informed decisions. Setting up a long-term financial plan can be a complicated task. It involves evaluating your potential income sources, and then factoring in the impact of taxes, inflation and the larger economic picture. Meeting with a TIAA-CREF Consultant can help. Don't miss this opportunity to meet with them.
