While the Graduate School pays for the G.A.'s registration, student government, and health center fees, the assistantship does not cover late registration fees, drop/add fees, activity/facilities fees, or special course fees such as those in Music, Art, Biology, etc.

Courses at the 100 and 200 level are not routinely paid for by the Graduate School Tuition Scholarship policy. Those 100 and 200 level courses which are applicable to your academic course of study (e.g., deficiency courses, foundation courses, courses which teach a necessary skill such as computer applications or a foreign language) will be paid for by the tuition award provided that the course is identified as necessary to your program of study. Those 100 and 200 level courses which you may be taking for recreation or vocational reasons are not eligible for reimbursement. Courses for which the Graduate School will reimburse you must be indicated on your Program of Study, as a condition of your degree admission.
