TUITION FEE WAIVER

If a student is awarded an assistantship, a tuition fee waiver is included in the award. However, the tuition waiver will be voided if the appointment terminates before the end of the term, the student withdraws from the University, or if any change is made in the appointment. If the fee waiver is voided, the student is responsible for the entire amount of fees including what the fee waiver covered.If you are appointed to a project during the semester, you will not receive a retroactive fee waiver.

The deadline for processing your fee waiver is the Thursday of the first week of class. The deadline date for payment of fees is published in the Schedule of Courses. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in you being charged a $100.00 late fee.
