GRADUATE STAFF FEE REMISSION POLICY
A. Graduate Student Staff Remission
Graduate student staff appointed as Graduate Aides or Graduate Administrative/Professional
Staff receive a tuition and fee remission each semester and summer session that they are
employed. The fee remission relieves the graduate student of the obligation to pay full tuition
and fees and requires the student to pay only a nominal fee each semester and one-half the
semester rate during the summer.
B. Eligibility
A student is eligible for the graduate staff fee remission if the appointment is in effect during
the first six weeks of a semester or July 1 of the summer session.
If a graduate staff appointment terminates within the first six weeks after the start of a semester
or prior to July 1 during the summer session and coursework is continued, all fees will be
assessed for the semester or summer session.
Students enrolled in the summer session are eligible for summer fee remission if they held a
graduate staff appointment in the prior spring semester and also will be appointed to a graduate
staff position in the following fall semester.
A student who held a graduate staff appointment in the spring semester but will not hold one in
the fall semester because he or she will complete degree requirements during the summer may
be granted a tuition and fee waiver for the summer session.
C. Enrollment Guidelines
Guidelines for the number of hours of course and research registration have been established by
the Graduate School for use by departments in monitoring graduate student staff. These
guidelines suggest a maximum course plus research registration as follows:
Employment % Maximum Credit Hours during Maximum Credit Hours during
of Full Time the Fall or Spring Semester the Summer Session
25% 15 Credit Hours 8 Credit Hours
50% 12 Credit Hours 6 Credit Hours
