School of Social Work Continuing Education Tuition Remission

Agencies whose professionals provide practicum instruction sufficient to enable students to satisfy credit-bearing course requirements may receive tuition remission credits. The schedule is as follows:

• BSW Junior Students: 0.75 credit per semester of supervision
• BSW Senior or MSW Students: 1.0 credit per semester of supervision

Key Policies and Procedures

Tuition remission is granted to the agency and may be assigned to an employee of the organization (but not to family members). Assignment requires written approval from both the agency director (or designee) and the School of Social Work.

Students may use tuition remission for up to 50% of total credits in any semester, with a maximum of 6 credits per semester. A separate application is required for each semester. Tuition Remission Applications must be submitted by the “Classes Begin Date” of the semester for which remission is requested. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and processing will stop when the School’s annual tuition remission budget is exhausted.

Tuition remission credits expire two years from the date they are earned. Remission is applied to tuition only; recipients remain responsible for all other course fees. Credits do not apply to individuals employed full-time by Adelphi University.

Approved tuition remission may be used for:

• Any credit-bearing course offered by the University, provided the student meets admission requirements. Doctoral candidates may use remission only toward their advisement fee.
• School of Social Work Continuing Education Certification Programs, covering up to 30% of the program cost.

Tuition remission is rendered through an approved Application for Tuition Remission, which is valid only when signed by both a designated agency official and the School of Social Work. Only the original approved application will be accepted for tuition charges. To request an application, contact Pat Durecko at 516.877.4383 or pdurecko@adelphi.edu.

Important Notes

1. The buying or selling of tuition remission credits is strictly prohibited. By signing the application, students and agency directors acknowledge compliance with this policy.
2. Applications should be submitted by the “Classes Begin Date” to avoid potential changes in financial aid or tuition charges.
