Some graduate students on fellowships and/or assistantships may be granted a waiver per the conditions of the award/position. Students in this situation should check their offer letter in regards to what will be waived. If you did not receive an offer letter and on an assistantship, please contact your department and request the letter.
Waivers are applied through our office and the academic departments by working with financial representatives at main campus. Students will receive a full bill. Then, waivers or payments will be applied. Our office typically does not send in the request for the waiver until ALL graduate TAs and award recipients from our office register full time. Therefore, it is important to register early.
Common scenario: the TA will have a non-resident tuition waiver applied. Therefore, they are responsible for the in-state tuition and fees. They should go ahead and pay the portion they are responsible for rather than waiting for the waiver as sometimes waivers are applied after the bill deadline. If unsure of what to pay, contact our office or your academic department.
