Students appointed for 20-hours in a GRAs and/or TAs position must request an employment tuition waiver every semester. This will waive the out-of-state portion of their tuition bill for that semester, based on their employment status.
The UT Board of Regents requires that international students on F-1 and J-1 visas be covered by health insurance; therefore, international students receive automatic charges for health insurance on their tuition and fee bills. Students may request an insurance waiver if they are covered by an alternative insurance policy that meets the basic requirements of the UT Health Insurance Plan.
Students with GRA or TA assignments receive employee health insurance, which meets these basic requirements, and can apply for a waiver of the international health insurance fees.
Summer health insurance is placed on spring tuition bills. If you are graduating in the spring and therefore do not need summer health insurance, you will need to submit a special waiver, signed by the Graduate Program Administrator, to waive the summer insurance. Verification of Graduation Form.
