Waivers

Like scholarships, waivers are used to offset college expenses and don’t need to be paid back. A waiver is a dollar value applied to tuition, fees, or residence hall costs based on the type of waiver the student has been granted. Waivers are not refundable and will reflect no more than the actual charge the waiver is specified for. Waivers may not carry forward to future semesters, students must be eligible for the waiver based on the waiver qualifications.
