The waiving of mandatory fees for employees taking classes at the University of Maryland ends beginning with the Fall 2019 semester.

In 2018, the Maryland Office of Legislative Audits found that the Board of Regents’ Policy does not permit the long-standing campus practice of waiving mandatory fees for the USM employees who receive tuition remission for courses taken at College Park.

Going forward, to comply with the Board of Regents policy and with the audit findings, the University has agreed to stop waiving mandatory fees for employees, beginning with the Fall 2019 semester. Employees will now be responsible for payment of mandatory fees when receiving tuition remission for courses taken at the University of Maryland.
