Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
What is TAP?
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia is committed to creating a more educated Georgia. As part of its desire to achieve that goal and meet evolving employee needs, the University System of Georgia (USG) has established an educational assistance program, the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The purpose of TAP is to foster the professional growth and development of eligible employees.

Who is Eligible?
Participation in the Tuition Assistance Program shall be available to active full-time (1.0 FTE), credential seeking, benefits-eligible employees who have successfully completed at least six (6) months of employment in a benefits-eligible position, as of the date of the Tuition Assistance Program application deadline for the desired academic semester.
How Can I Lose My Eligibility?
- An employee must receive a grade of “C” or better in each approved TAP course. If a grade of “D” or below is received, the employee will not be eligible to participate in the TAP program for one semester.
- If an employee withdraws from an approved TAP course prior to its completion, the employee will not be eligible to participate in the TAP program for one semester.
How Many Hours Can I Take?
Full-time employees (who meet the applicable admissions standards and who have received appropriate prior authorization from their institution) may enroll in up to nine (9) academic semester credit hours for each of the three (3) designated semester periods: fall semester, spring semester, and summer semester.
What if I Applied for Financial Aid, a Grant or Scholarship?
TAP is a supplemental educational assistance employee program. An employee who is eligible for any type of grant, scholarship or financial aid must apply their money toward tuition and fees before receiving a TAP waiver.
