What is the Tuition Waiver?
The ASPA Tuition Waiver benefit provides members with the right to have tuition fees waived for a credit or credit-equivalent course. The waiver may be used once per academic term (Fall, Winter, Spring Summer), for courses taken at the University of Saskatchewan. Student fees are not waived.

How much is covered?
The maximum value of the waiver in each academic term is equivalent to the tuition cost of a Category 6 three-credit undergraduate course. Graduate and fixed-fee programs may have their fees waived, up to the per-term maximum.

Provided that space is available in the course, the tuition for auditing one six-credit course or equivalent, per academic term, will be waived.

Who is eligible?

As per the memorandum of agreement establishing the Development Investment Grant (DIG), the next deadline to apply for the March allocation is February 28, 2010.

The DIG seeks to promote member development by providing an opportunity for ASPA members to enhance their knowledge, and engage in career progression at the University in a collaborative manner with their respective managers.

The Professional Development Plan activity funding requirement will be reduced by the member's available APDA fund balance. Remaining funding request will be a matching of funds from the DIG and the member's department/unit, up to a maximum contribution of $600 from the DIG fund per allocation period.

The Joint Merit Committee (JMC), comprised of representatives from the Administrative and Supervisory Personnel Association (ASPA) and the University of Saskatchewan Human Resources (HR), is pleased to announce the completion of our work. Attached are three documents:
