Tuition Exchange

Springfield College belongs to both the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and Tuition Exchange (TE) programs. Each offers the employees of their respective colleges the opportunity for free tuition for their child at partner schools. This programs is for undergraduate first time freshman and transfer students only. 

Parents who are employees at CIC schools need to review the CIC process and the same for TE College employees. Please note that these organizations typically expect the parent to have their application for tuition exchange on file very early.
