  • After one year of qualifying employment, full-time employee’s dependents may register for up to and including a full load of courses free of tuition (Tuition benefits above $5,250 are taxable; Custom Language Services/CLS not included).

Employees are also eligible to take advantage of the Staff Development Fund which is designed to support activities that will enhance job performance such as: participation in short courses, workshops, training programs, and conferences.  The application form can be located here: http://www.miis.edu/offices/humanresources/employee.
