Earned Summer Tuition Waiver
Graduate Assistants that have completed at least two consecutive terms as a graduate assistant in the fall/spring and meet the graduate assistantship eligibility requirements may apply for a one-time Earned Summer Tuition Waiver for the summer immediately following the fall/spring consecutive terms worked. Graduate Assistants who do not fulfill the terms of their contract in the fall/spring prior to the summer are not eligible for the waiver. Please read the Summer Tuition Waiver for Former Graduate Assistants policy for more information.
These waivers:
- Do not require you to work.
- Are available once following the completion of two terms as a graduate assistant per graduate degree program.
- Must be used during the summer term immediately following two consecutive semesters of service as a graduate assistant.
- Can be applied to up to 9 credit hours.
- Apply only to courses that count toward completion of your current degree program.
To apply, complete the Earned Summer Tuition Waiver form, available on the GA forms page, following enrollment in a summer course(s) but no later than the first day of the summer term for which the waiver applies. Forms submitted outside of this timeframe will not be processed. Once the form is approved by the Advisor and GA Supervisor, it will be processed by the Graduate School. After the Graduate School approves the waiver, it will be processed. Students are responsible for fees, as well as any late fees charged to their account due to outstanding fees.
Enrollment in UNIV 500 is not covered by the Earned Summer Tuition Waiver.
COMPETITIVE GRADUATE AWARD (CGA) RECIPIENTS ONLY: CGA recipients may use the Earned Summer Tuition Waiver the summer immediately following two consecutive terms of service as a CGA recipient. If CGA recipients work as a graduate assistant after their terms as a CGA recipient, they are eligible for a second Earned Waiver as a GA according to the guidelines listed above.
