Dependent Options [1]
In any given academic year, running from fall to summer, an eligible employee may give their Tuition Assistance Benefit to an eligible dependent or split it between multiple dependents. Multiple dependents must use the same option, either Option A - Home Campus or Option B - Other Campus, and the same campus. Dependents cannot use different dependent options under the same employee's tuition assistance benefit. The benefit cannot be split between the employee and a dependent.
