How many hours per semester and academic year is a dependent eligible for?
There is no cap on the number of credit hours taken during the academic year for dependents. The FEP benefit is based on a percentage of the total tuition and mandatory fees per semester, unlike EEP, where if in excess of 6 credit hours are scheduled in a semester, then the number of classes shall not exceed 2 classes. The academic year is defined as the period beginning with the fall semester and continuing through the eight week summer session. The discount applies for both part time and full time students.
