Doctoral students in Arts and Sciences programs who have been awarded departmental fellowships in the Fall term may receive a tuition fellowship to cover courses taken during the Summer Session immediately prior. Please note that this is a tuition credit only; students are responsible for all fees charged during the summer session.  Students may register for a maximum of 8 points during the summer session.

The Summer Tuition Credit is subject to the following conditions.  Students who do not meet all of these conditions will be liable for the summer tuition charged without exception.

·        All courses must be required for the completion of a Graduate School of Arts and Sciences degree and taken for credit.  Language courses may be taken if required for the completion of the degree.

·        All courses must be offered within the Continuing Education Summer Session program and charged directly to the students’ Student Financial Services account.  Courses in any other division of the University are not covered.

·        Students must register for a full Residence Unit or Extended Residence in the Fall term after the Summer Tuition Credit is awarded and receive a tuition fellowship to cover the tuition for the Fall term.

·        Students must complete all courses covered by the Summer Tuition Credit.  The Graduate School will not cover courses dropped after the full-tuition refund date set by the Office of the Registrar for the session in which the courses are taken.

·        Students must obtain approval for all summer coursework from their department and the Office of Financial Aid.

The Office of Financial Aid will apply the tuition credit to student accounts at the beginning of the second summer session and will reverse any accrued late fees that result from the timing of this disbursement.

Students wishing to apply for the Summer Tuition Credit should complete this application form and submit it to their academic department for approval.  Completed application should be forwarded to the Office of Financial Aid in 107 Low Memorial Library.  Any course changes made after the application is sent to the Office of Financial Aid must be submitted to that office in writing.
