Tuition waivers are available to Teaching and Research Assistants working at least 20 but not more than 29.6 hours/week. Tuition benefits are applicable to graduate-level courses, i.e., those numbered 5000 and above, that contribute to the student's degree course requirements. Any student wishing to take an undergraduate-level course will have to pay tuition for that course. Students must take between 9 and 12 semester hours to receive a full tuition waiver.
By Graduate School policy, tuition waivers are limited to four semesters for M.S. students. Students entering the Ph.D. program with a master's degree in Computer Science are limited to six semesters of tuition waiver support. Ph.D. students entering without a master's are limited to ten semesters of tuition waiver support. Ph.D. students with a master's degree in other areas must petition for ten semesters of tuition waiver support when entering the program. See the Graduate School Bulletin for additional requirements.
