Full-time registration for graduate students is 9 hours in fall, 9 hours in spring, 3 hours in summer. Students are not required to register in the summer to maintain full-time student status, but must register if they are receiving a Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) or Teaching Assistantship (TA).
Students also have to register for the summer if they are receiving a fellowship from the Graduate School or Cockrell School of Engineering, unless they are going on a department-approved internship.
Employment Waivers
GRAs and TAs should request an employment tuition waiver every semester they are appointed as a GRA/TA. This will waive the out-of-state portion of their tuition bill for that semester, based on their employment status.

Common Questions
Q. Why is my tuition bill still so high?
A. Probably because you didn’t complete the waiver for in-state tuition. This is a particularly common reason for those of you switching from fellowship to GRA because you’re not used to this process.

Q. Where is my final fellowship payment from the fall?
A. The final fellowship payment is held until you confirm attendance. If you are not receiving your fellowship payments, it is likely that you did not confirm attendance on the MyTuition page: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/acct/fb/my_tuition/my_tuition_home.WBX.
You will also need to be registered for 9 credit hours. You can fix your registration beginning mid-January. Find the specific date on the Academic Calendar: https://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars. The registration system is closed until mid-January, so no one, not even the magical graduate coordinator, can fix your registration before the mid-January date. Note that the registration system is open all day the first day registration opens in January, but following days have limited hours. You can check your registration hours here: https://registrar.utexas.edu/students/registration/before/ris
You may also need to pay any remaining fees. Everyone has different amounts, so I can’t give a blanket statement on fees here, but it shouldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars. If your fees are more than a few hundred dollars, ask the graduate coordinator before you pay out of pocket.
You may also need to complete your tuition waiver. Seriously, read the instructions, above.
Q. When will my tuition be paid?
A. As soon as possible! It will be complete before the deadline. Reminder, you may need to complete a tuition waiver: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/acct/fb/waivers/rte_request.WBX. Please be kind to staff who make tuition payments. Note that payments frequently cannot be made until days before the deadline.
