How it Works

Step One: Identify the Right Contact

  • This could be a manager or HR representative.  Typically, we recommend connecting with whoever is in charge of employee benefits at your organization.

Step Two: Share Partnership Information

  • Provide contact with a copy of our Welcome Kit and our MOU (Memorandum of Understanding), so they can discuss with leadership.

Step Three: Connect with UC Online

Final Step: Partnership Onboarding

  • Once the MOU is signed, the University of Cincinnati Business Partnership team will provide your organization with a Welcome Kit and marketing materials that have helpful information about how to maximize this benefit. 
  • Employees can apply for an online program of their choice, and our recruiting teams are trained to verify your employment as part of the process.
  • Once verified, you will receive a discounted tuition rate on your semester bill.
