Graduate tuition remission requests are submitted by departments on behalf of students. The types of tuition remission are: graduate student research, graduate student teaching and academic internship.
Departments determine the tuition remission coverage amount and whether the graduate tuition remission request will cover all or part of tuition only or tuition and fees. Departments also enter their FOAP as the funding source. When submitting the tuition remission request, the student’s appointment letter and bill are required to be uploaded.
Please note: a student’s financial aid package may change once graduate student remission is processed.
