The tuition remission application can now be completed online through the Wilkes Employee portal. To submit your application, log in to the portal. Under the “Employees” tab at the top of the page, use the dropdown and select “Employee Resources”. The link to the online application is listed under the Employee Self Service module as “Tuition Remission.” Complete all required fields and submit. Your application will be reviewed by the Human Resources department to ensure you are eligible for the benefit, and then forwarded to the Financial Aid office for final review.

*Please note: Employees requesting remission for spouses or dependents who are currently not listed as beneficiaries will need to add them. Employees can add beneficiaries by selecting “Benefits and Deductions” in Employee Self Service, then selecting “Beneficiaries and Dependents - Add a New Person." Complete the required fields and select “Submit Changes.”
