Failure to provide proper paperwork within 2 weeks of the start of the semester will forfeit the option of using the waiver program and will result in the Student being 100% responsible for all tuition and fees.

All Waiver programs are on a space available basis. In order to access the privileges of using the Alumni, Senior Citizen, Unemployed, and Volunteer waiver, the student must wait to register until the last day of In-person registration.

Please see IMPORTANT DATES.

Any course that was previously registered for prior to the Waiver day will not be honored for the program. If the student would like to use the waiver for any of those classes previously registered for, he/she will be required to drop the course and wait 24 hours before adding it back to his/her schedule to be eligible.

Students will not be reimbursed and allowed to apply the waiver to any registration that was previously paid prior to waiver day. Students must exhaust eligibility for financial aid first prior to any waiver use.
