Out-of-State Tuition Waivers for Graduate Assistants

These fee waivers apply only to out-of-state fees. The student is still responsible for in-state tuition and fees. However, the student may also be eligible for matriculation fee waivers. Out-of-state and matriculation fee waivers are processed through the student’s academic department.
Out-of-state graduate assistants are encouraged to apply for Florida residency before they first enroll (if possible, a few months before they begin classes) in order to receive in-state tuition rates instead of using out-of-state tuition waivers. Please see the above section titled Reclassification of Out-of-State Graduate Assistants. Reclassification questions should be directed to Linda Johnson in the Office of the Registrar.
