Tuition Assistance for Dependents
Carleton College extends tuition benefits for an employee’s legal dependent children. Employees must have completed six continuous years of service and be benefit-eligible in one of the following statuses: tenure track, PEAR faculty, faculty on continuing appointments, exempt staff, non-exempt staff, or union employee.
Plan to allow 3 calendar weeks (21 days) from the submission of your request for the check to reach your dependent’s school and be applied to your student’s account. The steps involved in the process are identified below with an estimate of time for each step:
- Carleton HR reviews, calculates and approves your request; HR submits a payment request to Accounts Payable (AP); AP processes the payment. This entire process takes approximately about 15 days.
- U.S. Mail takes about 3 days.
- Receiving College/University processes the check and applies it to your student’s account. This takes approximately about 2 days.
