What is the maximum TA coverage per semester hour?

• A. 100% up to $250 per semester hour
• B. 100% up to $500 per semester hour
• C. 75% up to $300 per semester hour
• D. 50% up to $200 per semester hour

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how Tuition Assistance funds apply to each hour of coursework. Tuition Assistance covers 100% of the tuition for each semester hour, but only up to a cap of $250 per semester hour. That means if a class costs $250 per semester hour or less, TA can pay it in full. If the cost per hour is higher, TA will pay up to $250, and you’d cover the remainder, all within any annual maximum and eligibility rules. For example, if a class is $300 per semester hour, TA would pay $250 and you’d be responsible for the remaining $50 per hour (assuming you’re still within the yearly cap and the course is eligible). If a class costs $200 per hour, TA would pay the full $200. The other options describe different percentages or higher per-hour caps that don’t align with how TA coverage is set up, so the correct maximum per semester hour is 100% up to $250.
