Graduate Assistants
Beginning with the fall 2020 semester, the Treasurer’s Office will no longer allow
payroll deduction for an individual with a $0.00 account balance, even if the individual is expecting additional aid.
Graduate assistants appointed to at least a 25% position will be classified as in-state students
for tuition purposes. Graduate assistants appointed to at least a 50% position will be classified as
in-state students for tuition purposes AND will have in-state tuition paid. Miscellaneous and mandatory
fees (activity fees, college fees, etc.), books, housing and other expenses are the responsibility of the student.
Graduate Waivers
The process for your graduate waiver begins in your employment department. After it is entered in the BASIS system
and approved by your department head, the Graduate School or Graduate School of Business must approve the waiver. Once
the waiver has completed the approval process through BASIS, it is applied to your student account in UAConnect. If your
waiver has not been applied to your student account, contact your department to verify that your waiver has been submitted.
If it has, contact the Graduate School or the Graduate School of Business to request a status report. Once the wavier
applies to your account, any funds used to pay your tuition charges from your financial aid will be refunded to you.
