Dependent Tuition and Fee Waiver Benefit

Eligible employees may transfer their fee waiver benefit to a spouse, registered domestic partner, or eligible dependent child, subject to applicable age limits.

Dependents must apply for admission, be accepted to a CSU campus, and be matriculated in a degree or teaching credential program. Eligible dependents may pursue an undergraduate, graduate, or credential program offered through the CSU.

Enrollment of dependents under the fee waiver program is subject to campus space availability, as determined by the campus administration.

  Eligible dependents may receive a waiver of State Tuition Fees, subject to program eligibility requirements and applicable employee category provisions.
