Tuition Remission Procedures
If possible, departments should notify the Bursar's Student Account Office with authorization information as follows:
| semester | date |
|---|---|
| Fall Term | August 15 |
| Spring Term | December 15 |
| Summer Term | May 15 |
Early notification of tuition remissions:
- Allows the Bursar's Office to send accurate student account bills.
- Allows students to receive their excess financial
aid refund - meant to cover living expenses - as early as Federal Regulations permit.
- Many TA's, PA's and RA's receive student loans or other financial aid. If the tuition remission/waiver notification is not received before financial aid is disbursed, the aid is applied to pay tuition and fee charges, and not refunded.
- It is understood that sometimes appointments cannot be made until immediately before or after the start of the term. In such cases, notify the Bursar's Student Account Office as soon as the appointment is made, and the tuition remission/waiver will be applied to the student's Tuition Account.
TA, PA, RA or Instructional Academic Staff appointments:
Campus departments should submit a list of all
authorized students - not just changes to the previous term's
authorizations to:
Bursar's Office Secure Web Site
The list should include the following information:
- Student's last, first, middle names
- Student's campus ID or SS # if campus ID number isn't available
- Type of appointment
- Department contact name
- Department phone number
- Department email address
- UDDS number
