15.3. Waiver Coverage Amounts

Graduate students holding a full-time assistantship (20 hours/week; 320 hours per term) are eligible for a 100% (base tuition only) tuition waiver. Graduate students holding a part-time assistantship (minimum of 10 hours/week) and meet a minimum of 160 hours of work in a semester may qualify for a minimum of a 50% (base tuition only) tuition waiver. Students holding a part-time assistantship of 15 hours/week qualify for a minimum of a 50% tuition waiver and may be eligible for a 100% waiver. Awards above the minimum qualification based on hours per week must be a consistent practice within the college.

Any student whose assistantship does not meet a minimum of 160 hours of work in a fall/spring semester will be ineligible for a tuition waiver and the graduate assistantship rate; they will be responsible for all tuition billed to their student account for the ineligible semester. The rate of tuition will revert to the student’s residency rate and any graduate assistantship tuition waiver awarded for the current and future semester(s) will be revoked.
