Purpose
The purpose of this benefit is to provide educational opportunities to eligible dependent children of faculty and staff through participation in the Tuition Exchange (TE) Program www.tuitionexchange.org and the Associated Colleges of the South Tuition Exchange Program (ACSTEP) www.colleges.org/programs/tuition-exchange-program. Together referred to as “tuition exchange benefits” and “tuition exchange program.”
Regular full-time (those working 1,462 hours or more annually) faculty and staff with one (1) year of continuous service are eligible to apply. The one year of continuous employment must be attained prior to the start of the student’s first semester. New faculty and staff members who have met the one year eligibility criteria in a benefits-eligible position at another institution of higher learning prior to accepting a position at Rollins, shall be deemed to have met the one year (1) requirement.
NOTE: Effective March 1, 2011, the College approved material changes to the eligibility criteria for participation in the ACS Tuition Exchange Program and those faculty and staff hired prior to March 1, 2011, were grandfathered under the eligibility requirements previously in effect. Under the provisions of the previous policy, all regular full and part-time (those working 1,000 hours or more annually) faculty and staff with ninety (90) days of continuous service were eligible for the ACS Tuition Exchange Program. This grandfather provision applies only to the ACS Tuition Exchange Program.
