Cost Recovery and Self-Supporing Programs

These programs have unique tuition and fee waiver requirements and tuition schedules, and so are an addendum to Tuition Waiver Policy.

Cost recovery programs are those that:

  • are allocated no state funds and must generate all costs through tuition and fees,
  • are approved by the Board of Trustees, and
  • are exempt from all tuition and fee waiver programs, but
  • must honor statutory waivers.

Self-supporting programs are those that:

  • receive no direct state subsidy (general revenue funds),
  • may depend on a special Board of Trustees approved tuition rate to cover additional costs of developing and offering the program,
  • are usually aimed at non-traditional audiences (e.g. professional, off-campus, online), and
  • are exempt from all tuition and fee waiver programs, but
  • must honor statutory waivers (information on statutory waivers).

Approved Self-Supporting Programs:

All Professional Development courses through UIS Continuing & Professional Education such as ION Professional eLearning Programs, Ed2Go and Green Flower. These programs are not for academic credit; therefore, no tuition waivers are applicable.
