📚 Introduction

In this article, we will guide you through the process of enrolling in the Dependent Tuition Assistance program at your workplace. Whether you're a new employee or just need a refresher, this step-by-step guide will help you navigate the enrollment process smoothly. We'll cover everything from accessing the enrollment platform to verifying your enrollment status. Let's get started!

📝 Enrollment Process for Dependent Tuition Assistance

To make the most of the Dependent Tuition Assistance benefit, it is important to enroll in the program prior to the beginning of each term. There are two ways to complete your enrollment: through the Workday platform or by submitting a paper application to HR Connection. In this article, we will focus on the Workday enrollment process.

🧭 Accessing Workday for Dependent Tuition Assistance Enrollment

To begin the enrollment process, log into Workday using the provided URL: Workday.osu.edu. Once logged in, you will see the Global Navigation Panel menu icon at the top left of the homepage. Click on it to access the menu options. From the menu, select "Benefits" to proceed.

🚀 Navigating to Benefits in Workday

Upon selecting "Benefits," you will be directed to the Change Benefits screen. Here, you will find various options related to your benefits. Locate the Change Reason field and select the "Dependent Tuition Assistance Enrollment" option for the applicable semester.

📅 Changing Benefits and Selecting Dependent Tuition Assistance Enrollment

In the Benefit Event Date field, enter today's date. The Submit Elections By field will auto-populate based on the event type. Please note that the Attachments section should only be used for change reasons that require documentation. If your enrollment doesn't require any attachments, simply proceed by clicking the Submit button.

A pop-up card will appear on the screen. Click the Open button to access the event. If you close the pop-up card, you can always find the event in your Workday in-box. From the pop-up card, click the "Let's Get Started" button to proceed with the enrollment process.

📝 Filling Out the Enrollment Form

To enroll your dependents into Dependent Tuition Assistance, locate the Dependent Tuition Assistance Enrollment card and click "Manage." On the Dependent Tuition Assistance Enrollment screen, you will see two plans available: one for selecting the semester and another for declaring eligibility for taxation purposes.

The Select button will already be chosen for both the tuition plan and the taxation plan. Unless none of the dependents you plan to enroll can be claimed for taxation purposes, leave the Waive radio button unchecked. Once you have made your selection, click the "Confirm and Continue" button.

➕ Adding and Selecting Dependents

In this next step, you will be selecting the dependents for whom you are applying the Dependent Tuition Assistance benefit. If you need to enroll a new dependent, click on the "Add New Dependent" button and fill in the required fields with accurate information. Once all dependents are listed, select the checkbox next to each dependent who is eligible for the benefit and then click the Save button.

💾 Saving and Reviewing Enrollment Information

You will be redirected to the main Tuition Assistance Enrollment screen. Take a moment to review your elections for accuracy. Scroll down to the Electronic Signature section and click the "I accept" checkbox as your electronic signature. Then, select "Submit" to finalize your enrollment.

✅ Verifying Enrollment Status

To ensure that your enrollment process in Workday is complete, go to your worker profile and click on "Benefits." You should see the Dependent Tuition Assistance for the applicable semester listed as elected, and all the dependents for whom the benefit will be applied should be listed under the dependents column. If you don't see the Dependent Tuition Assistance, check your Workday in-box for an open event or consider submitting a paper form.

⏰ Submission Deadlines and Additional Resources

Keep in mind that applications must be submitted by the 100% Refund date, which is typically the first Friday of classes during the academic term.
