RE: 2021 HRD Tuition and Fee Waiver Guidelines

DATE: February 24, 2021

Per N.C. General Statutes (G.S. 115D-5(b)(13)), individuals enrolling in courses offered through the Human Resources Development (HRD) Program may be granted a waiver of registration fees if they meet one of four criteria:

1. Are unemployed;

2. Have received notification of pending layoff;

3. Are working and are eligible for the federal earned income tax credit;

4. Are working and earning wages at or below two hundred percent (200%) of the federal poverty guidelines.

Use these guidelines for determining an individual’s eligibility for the HRD Tuition and Fee Waiver. Additionally, the policy states that students for whom registration fees are waived must sign a statement on an official college document verifying that they meet one of the criteria.

Please note that students must sign a waiver for each course they are enrolled in and seeking waiver eligibility.
