Recipients of waivers have had the amount for the service actually assessed and then waived by University policy. Such recipients are therefore eligible to receive the benefits of the service provided by the charge.
An exemption carries no original charge, so recipients are not eligible to receive the benefits of the services provided by the charge. Students exempt from any particular charge may make individual arrangements with the service provider; such arrangements are subject to the policies of the individual provider.
Unless otherwise exempted by Board of Trustees authorization, the payment of tuition and fees is required of academic employees of the University or allied agencies under appointment for less than 25 percent of full-time service, and of staff employees under appointment for less than 50 percent of full-time service.
For tuition and fees assessment purposes, an appointment must be to an established position for a specific amount of time and a salary commensurate with the percentage of time required, and it must require service for not less than three-fourths of the academic term. Note: A term is defined as running from the first day of class through the last day of final examinations. Three-fourths of a term is defined as ninety-one calendar days in a semester and forty-one calendar days during the eight-week summer term. Tuition and fees privileges do not apply to students employed on an hourly basis in either an academic or staff capacity, or to persons on leave without pay.
1. For the purpose of this section, the four employment categories at this campus are defined as follows:
Faculty: The faculty includes (1) those in the professorial ranks (i.e., professor, associate professor, assistant professor); (2) instructors and lecturers; and (3) teaching, research, and clinical associates. Various prefixes may be used in conjunction with these ranks, such as adjunct, clinical, visiting, or research.
Academic Professional (Academic): Academic professionals are those employees whose positions have been designated by the president and the chancellor as meeting specialized administrative, professional, or technical needs. Academic professional employees receive an academic contract issued by the Board of Trustees for a term appointment. They are accorded the rights and privileges pertaining to other academic personnel except those that apply specifically to academic employees with faculty rank, such as eligibility for tenure.
Graduate Student Assistant: Graduates student assistants include teaching, research, and clinical assistants.
Staff: Staff employees are those members of the University work force subject to the rules of the State Universities Civil Service System.
University employees appointed to established civil service positions whose rates of pay are determined by negotiation, prevailing rates, and union affiliation are not considered as paid on an hourly basis and are entitled to the same tuition and fees privileges accorded to other staff members under the regulations.
A student who resigns an appointment, or whose appointment is cancelled before rendering service for at least three-fourths of the term, becomes subject to the full amount of the appropriate tuition and fees for that term unless the student withdraws from University classes at the same time or before the appointment becomes void, or the student has submitted a final thesis within one week after the resignation date.
Students holding appointments--as academic employees, graduate assistants, or fellows--to the close of the second semester, for whom tuition and/or the Service Fee have been provided by exemption or waiver, are entitled to the same exemption of tuition and/or the Service Fee for the summer session or term immediately following, providing they hold no appointments during the summer session or term.
Tuition and fee waivers are not granted for the Executive M.B.A. Program or other self-supporting programs.
Exempt from payment of the application fee are:
-- Faculty and academic professional employees.
-- University of Illinois faculty, academic, and staff retirees.
-- Permanent staff employees of the University and other institutions and agencies under the University Civil Service System who have been assigned to established permanent and continuous staff positions and who are employed for at least 50 percent of full time.
-- Employees of certain specifically identified related agencies who are authorized tuition and/or Service Fee waivers.
-- Summer-session-only graduate degree applicants after their first registration for on-campus work.
-- Students registered at the University of Illinois at Chicago who wish to enroll at the Urbana-Champaign campus for the summer session only.
-- Persons eligible under the Illinois Veteran Grant Program.
Waivers of the application fee are authorized for:
-- Applicants who, because of extreme financial hardship, cannot meet the cost of the fee. In general, evidence of extreme financial hardship is a family income at or below the low standard family budget of the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the receipt of a testing waiver from the American College Testing Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. Applicants currently attending another collegiate institution may provide evidence of the financial package received at the institution.
-- Applicants under approved foreign exchange programs in which the University participates, such as the Latin American Scholarship Program of American Universities and the African Scholarship Program of American Universities, and foreign students participating in approved exchange programs in which the waiver of fees is reciprocal.
-- Intercampus transfers at the same level: undergraduate to undergraduate, or graduate to graduate.
-- Applicants requesting a change in admission consideration from one campus of the University of Illinois to another for the same level and term. This would include applicants denied admission on one campus as well as applicants wishing to cancel admission or admission consideration on one campus for similar consideration on another campus. Students applying simultaneously to two campuses must pay the application fee at each campus. Undergraduate students applying for admission to a professional or graduate college on either of the two campuses must pay the application fee.
-- Students from other universities participating in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) Program by taking courses at the University of Illinois.
-- Persons who are applying for ClC-supported fellowships to study at a CIC member institution.
-- Graduate and professional applicants whose entry is advanced or delayed by action of their major departments are not required to pay a second application fee.
-- University of Illinois students applying for work on a second campus as concurrent registrants, non-University of Illinois students applying as concurrent registrants from another institution with which the University has a reciprocal agreement, and students who have been concurrent enrollees the immediately preceding term and who plan to return to their primary campuses the following term.
-- Cooperating teachers and administrators who receive assignment of practice teachers, who receive assignment of students meeting the clinical experience requirement in teacher education, or who cooperate in research projects related to teacher education, cooperating librarians, school-nurse teachers, social welfare field supervisors, recreation field supervisors, health-education field supervisors, speech pathology supervisors, developmental child care field supervisors, educational psychology supervisors, continuing education supervisors, industrial relations field supervisors, and physicians participating without salary in the instructional program of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana- Champaign.
-- Students on leave-of-absence status on reentry.
-- Illinois Teacher of the Year recipients.
-- All faculty and academic professional employees (excluding graduate assistants) of the University on appointment for at least 25 percent of full-time service, provided the appointments require service for not less than three-fourths of a term. This waiver also applies to employees of certain specifically identified related agencies whose positions are considered equivalent to academic positions of the University.
-- Graduate teaching and research assistants of the University on appointment for at least 25 percent but not more than 67 percent of full-time service. Their appointments must require service for not less than three-fourths of the term. Those on appointment for 68 percent or more of full-time service pay tuition at the in-state rate and are eligible for waiver of the Service Fee only. Caution: Assistantship appointments are cumulative. For example, if a person holds two appointments, a 25-percent and a 50-percent assistantship appointment, he or she is ineligible for a tuition waiver.
-- Students holding appointments--as employees, graduate assistants, or fellows--to the close of the final term of an academic year, for whom tuition and/or the Service Fee have been provided through waiver, are entitled to a waiver of the same kinds of tuition and fees for the summer session or summer term immediately following, provided they hold no appointments during that summer session or term. Students holding summer session or summer term appointments as fellows or as employees are subject to such tuition and fees as would be assessed in accordance with the principles expressed above.
-- Staff employees of the University, of any other institutions and agencies under the University Civil Service System, and of certain specifically identified related agencies in status appointments or in appointments designed to qualify for status in an established class (e.g., trainee, intern) for at least 50 percent of full-time services who register in regular University courses not to exceed:
-- Staff employees in status, learner, trainee, apprentice, or provisional appointments may enroll without payment of tuition in regular courses directly related to their University employment not to exceed 10 credit hours per semester provided they have made application and received prior approval for enrollment as required by procedures issued by the director of Staff Human Resources and set forth in Policy and Rules--Staff.
-- Holders of tuition waiver scholarships.
-- Holders of graduate tuition and fee waivers awarded by the Graduate College.
-- University of Illinois faculty, academic, and staff retirees.
-- Holders of grants or contracts from outside sponsors that provide payments to cover the total cost of instruction.
-- Cooperating teachers and administrators who receive assignment of practice teachers, who receive assignment of students meeting the clinical experience requirement in teacher education curricula, or who cooperate in research projects related to teacher education: one semester, quarter, or summer session for each semester, quarter, or equivalent service rendered within two consecutive semesters. The waiver will apply to the semester, quarter, or summer session of registration, as designated by the student, that is concurrent with, or following, the term of service, but must be applied no later than one calendar year from the end of the term of service. Concurrent registration on more than one campus of the University or in University extramural courses constitutes one semester, quarter, or session of eligibility for waiver. A similar waiver is authorized for cooperating librarians, school-nurse teachers, social welfare field supervisors, developmental child care field supervisors, recreation field superviso rs, health-education field supervisors, speech pathology supervisors, educational psychology supervisors, continuing education supervisors, industrial relations field supervisors, and physicians who participate without salary in the instructional program of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. (Acceptance of more than one assignment from any of the above listed offices during any one term will generate only one waiver.)
