Waivers

Out-of-State Tuition Waivers

All “benefits-eligible” students (20-hr appointment as a GRA or TA for a full semester) or students with scholarships of at least $1,000, are eligible to pay resident tuition. Unfortunately, resident tuition is NOT billed automatically. If you meet the requirements, you must complete the waiver on-line each semester (Waiver for Faculty Members, Teaching Assistants, and Research Assistants, and their Dependents). Students whose tuition is being paid through faculty grants should ask their supervising professor to provide all the necessary information to the applicable support staff so that an electronic document can be created to pay for all or part of your tuition. If you have any questions concerning this matter, you may check with the graduate coordinator or your supervisor. Even if your full tuition is paid and the balance is zero, you must still confirm your attendance in My Tuition Bill by the due date or you will be dropped from your courses!

Health Insurance Waivers

All F-1 and J-1 students will be automatically charged for International Student Health Insurance. However, all benefits-eligible (20-hr GRA or TA appointments) international students will automatically qualify for employee insurance.

 In order to not be charged additionally for the International Student Health Insurance, you must apply for a Health Insurance Waiver online here each semester. All international students are required to carry health insurance, and information can be found here. More information about requirements for international students and waiving health insurance can be found here, on the International Student and Scholar Services site.
