Section 1. Tuition Remission
In addition to the salaries listed in Article 21, Compensation, eligible employees shall also receive tuition remission as part of their compensation as indicated below.
Research assistants (RA), teaching assistants (TA), and instructor Gs are charged full tuition for the period of their appointment. However, in addition to the salaries listed in Article 21, Compensation, employees will normally receive tuition remission that is proportional to the level of effort of their appointment (e.g., a 100% effort RA provides a 100% tuition subsidy to the employee, and a 50% effort TA provides a 50% tuition subsidy to the employee) for the duration of the appointment.
Employees working summer appointments shall receive summer tuition remission consistent with MIT’s summer tuition remission policies.
Section 2. Special Circumstances
Under some special circumstances, and consistent with current practices, the Institute may deviate from the tuition remission policies described in this Article. Such circumstances shall be limited to:
A. Employees with external funding that covers part or all of their tuition; and
B. Employees employed by certain professional degree programs (i.e., the Sloan MBA program, Sloan Master of Finance program, Sloan Master of Business Analytics program, Sloan Executive MBA program, Sloan Fellows program, Leaders for Global Operations program, Systems Design Management program, Integrated Design and Management program, and educational programs of the Center for Real Estate Development).
