Benefits: Graduate Assistants, Instructors & Fellows

A graduate student in a qualifying appointment is eligible for medical insurance and tuition benefits if the appointment meets the minimum hours per week (FTE), stipend level requirements and appropriate duration of appointment.

Graduate Student Tuition Waiver Program

To receive resident tuition remission, an appointment must be:

• continuous for full semester or academic year
• at least quarter-time (.25 FTE)
• at a minimum stipend level established early in the spring semester for the next academic year.

Tuition remission is subject to time limitations for the duration of fee waiver support. The non-resident portion of tuition is remitted if appointment stipend meets the minimum level, as published in the Graduate Student Tuition Waiver Program section. Tuition for summer sessions may be waived if certain conditions are met.
