ES4517 - DMACC Pioneers Tuition Waiver

1. Institutional Regulations
   
   The College shall outline the procedures for members of the DMACC Pioneers who wish to enroll in credit or courses.
    
2. Procedure
   1. DMACC Pioneers refers to any person who is or will be a member of the DMACC Pioneers Association prior to the beginning of the term in which the course is offered in the case of credit courses.
   2. There must be an adequate number of tuition-paying students to justify the course and/or seminar/workshop offering.
   3. The class must have space available after all tuition-paying students have enrolled.
   4. A DMACC Pioneer may not exceed two credit courses in any semester.
   5. Credit enrollment - A DMACC Pioneer that wishes to use the waiver can enroll no more than two working days before the beginning of the term in which the course is offered.
   6. No tuition/fees or processing fee will be charged. Students will be responsible for books, materials, and supplies.
   7. Non-credit enrollment - The tuition waiver is not applicable for non-credit courses, seminars or workshops.
   8. DMACC Pioneers must complete the appropriate registration schedule form.
   9. The registration schedule form must be presented in person to the Student Records Office on any campus. The form should be marked “DMACC Pioneer.”
   10. DMACC Pioneers must present their membership card with Pioneer logo on it at the time of registration.
       1. The first time a person uses the DMACC Pioneer Tuition Waiver, the Pioneer membership card must be presented. The registration clerk will place a “DMACC Pioneer” hold on the student’s record. This hold will serve to:
          1. Notify registration staff in the future that the student has been verified as a DMACC Pioneer, and
          2. Allow registration staff to restrict registration of students using the DMACC Pioneer tuition waiver to the proper dates.
       2. For a continuing DMACC Pioneer, the process of registration will cause the “DMACC Pioneer hold” to appear. This should prompt the clerk to ask if the student wishes to again use the waiver. If the student does wish to use the waiver, the clerk (in the case of a credit course) should also ask if the student wants to take the class as audit or for credit.
       3. When an eligible student asks for the DMACC Pioneer Tuition Waiver to be used, the registration clerk will clearly mark a copy of the registration form “DMACC Pioneer” and give the copy to the appropriate campus business office staff for tuition waiver processing.
