Waivers
Fee waivers permit only a portion of the tuition and/or required fees
to be waived from payment. A student will still be responsible for payment
of tuition and/or required fees that are not waived. Fee waivers are issued
only for the period in which a student is currently enrolled; therefore,
applications must be submitted no later than commencement day at the end
of the spring semester or the official graduation date at the end of the
summer session or fall semester.
