I understand that my enrollment may not fall below 6 credit hours at any time during employment as a graduate assistant.
If approved, in-state tuition for only the exact number of credit hours of enrollment will be applied to my bill. If my course load increases, I will contact the Student Financial Services Office immediately.
This request must be submitted for each semester that a course load below 12 credit hours is requested.
