Bill > H373

This bill modifies the rules for tuition waivers and discounts at University of North Carolina (UNC) constituent institutions. Specifically, the bill allows the UNC Board of Governors to offer two new types of tuition discounts: first, for military students receiving federal or state military tuition assistance, with discounts up to the difference between the assistance amount and the full tuition; and second, for students enrolled in employer-sponsored financial support programs, with discounts up to the difference between the employer's contribution and the full tuition. The bill also requires the Board of Governors to submit an annual report to legislative committees detailing the number of students receiving these discounts and the financial impact on each institution. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions allowing UNC personnel, including full-time faculty, staff, and campus law enforcement officers, to enroll in courses with certain tuition waivers during their normal employment period. The new tuition discount provisions will take effect for the 2025-2026 academic year, providing more flexible financial support options for military personnel and students with employer sponsorship.
