Tuition Waiver Programs
Tuition Waiver Policy & Procedures

GENERAL PRACTICE:

A student applying for a tuition waiver must (1) submit a timely application for the waiver and (2) submit written certification of his/her eligibility from the appropriate eligibility office or official.

Once application has been made and the student’s eligibility for the tuition waiver is confirmed, the tuition waiver will be applied to tuition due for the semester(s) in which the student is currently enrolled.

If a currently enrolled student has been certified and would have been eligible for a prior semester in which he/she was enrolled and the prior semester is part of the current academic year, the tuition waiver will be granted as applicable to the prior semester.

If a currently enrolled student has been certified as eligible for a prior semester in which he/she was enrolled, but the semester is not part of the current academic year, approval to waive fees must be granted by the Department of Student Financial Assistance’s Tuition Waiver Committee.

If a student is not currently enrolled and has been certified as eligible for a prior semester in which he/she was enrolled, and the semester is not part of the current academic year, the waiver will not be granted.
