Students who are paid by the university for at least 10 hours per week for an entire semester are eligible for matriculation (in-state) waivers; first-year students who are on the FSU payroll are also eligible for out-of-state waivers. Students receiving matriculation and/or out-of-state waivers must be registered as full-time students during each semester they are on the university's payroll. Currently, full-time enrollment is 9 credit hours for those with an assistantship. Those students who are not funded by the university are required to register for 12 credit hours each semester.
If you will be receiving a tuition waiver, it will be issued by the end of the third day of classes. Sirlena Andrews (sandrews@pc.fsu.edu) will email you to let you know the tuition waivers have been issued and remind you to print out the waiver receipt form and forward the form to her. You can then pay your fees. If you have not received a tuition waiver by the end of the second day of classes contact Ms. Andrews.
For more information about your account go to myFSU, look for My Financial Aid click “FSU Student Srvs Ctr (Student) then enter your Last Name and First Name and then click “Account Inquiry”, then click “Account Services” tab, then click “Waiver Form” then click “Generate Waiver Receipt”, then print out the waiver receipt form, sign it and give it to Ms. Andrews, via email, or mailbox if you are a Tallahassee student. The primary purpose of this form is to advise you that if you drop below 9 hrs after the fourth day of classes, your waiver will be cancelled and you will be liable for the tuition and fees associated with all hours, including the ones dropped. You must sign this form and return it to Sirlena by the date tuition fees are due.
Financial aid and tuition waivers: If you apply for financial aid (http://financialaid.fsu.edu/), please be aware that the monetary value of the tuition waivers, in addition to your stipend, must be reported on your loan application and is taken into account when the Financial Aid Office determines the amount of financial aid for which you qualify.
Note: Students receiving tuition waivers are still responsible for paying student tuition fees each semester. These fees are higher for those living in Tallahassee.
