Tuition waivers

National Guard Waivers

Students must complete paperwork with their commanding officer each semester to qualify for this waiver. The National Guard should send individual sealed forms that certify the student will receive the waiver to the Bursar’s Office. If applicable, the Bursar’s Office will ensure that the appropriate regional campus is notified.

Veteran's Waivers

• The veteran must complete paperwork with the Office of Veterans Affairs in Storrs to qualify for the waiver.
• The Husky Veteran's Website provides basic information about Veterans benefits offered at the University of Connecticut.
• There is no waiver or remission of June Term fees, or LL.M. fees.

Employee Waivers

There are two different types of employee waivers depending on the employee bargaining unit (UCPEA and Managerial). Although HR gives UConn employees until October 15 and February 28 to apply (for Fall and Spring, respectively), we strongly urge employees to complete their applications so as to meet the fee bill deadlines (August 1 and January 8) and to avoid late fees. Employees must complete paperwork that is available on the Human Resources website. If approved by HR, it will be forwarded to the Bursar's Office and your fee bill will be credited with the waiver. Please remember that employees receiving these waivers are not allowed to register until the first day of classes. If you desire, you may fax a copy of your application to the Bursar's Office at (860) 486-9236 and we will give you a temporary deferment until we are notified by HR.

Over 62 Waivers

This waiver pertains to any person sixty-two years of age or older who has been accepted for admission in the Juris Doctor program. Students must notify the Bursar’s Office if they are over 62 years of age and a Connecticut resident. If any person who receives a tuition waiver also receives educational reimbursement from an employer, the waiver is reduced by the amount of the educational reimbursement.

September 11th Tuition Waivers

The State of Connecticut has passed an act (Public Act 02-126) which grants a tuition waiver for those residents of the state of Connecticut who are either dependents or spouses of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The student must complete a waiver application at the Office of Student Financial Aid. The form can be completed in person, via fax or mail. The Financial Aid office will then forward this information to the Bursar’s Office and will apply the waiver to the student’s account. Any questions regarding eligibility for the tuition waiver should be referred to the Office of Student Financial Aid at (860) 486-2819.
