Summer Sandwich Tuition Waivers

A "Summer Sandwich" tuition waiver is available to graduate students who will not be hired as GTFs during the summer if they meet the criteria cited in either option below:

• Option A: Hold a GTF appointment at least two terms during the academic year that precedes the summer in question AND will be appointed to a GTF position for the following fall term.
• Option B: Hold a spring term GTF appointment in the academic year that precedes the summer in question AND will be appointed to a GTF position for all three terms of the following academic year.

The Request for Summer Sandwich Tuition Waiver must be completed and submitted to the Graduate School. Completed forms received by the first Friday in May will be processed before the start of summer term. Forms will be accepted through the last day of the fall term following the summer in question to allow those students who receive an unanticipated fall or full-year appointment that makes them eligible for Option A or B the opportunity to obtain a retroactive tuition waiver for summer term.
