Research and Teaching Assistants

Students enrolled in the Graduate College or in the DDS, JD, MD, or PharmD programs who hold a University teaching or research appointment of quarter-time or above and dietetic interns in the hospitals are assessed resident tuition for the terms during which they hold the appointments, and any adjacent summer session during which they are registered. This includes graduate students appointed to Graduate College fellowships or to research assistantships from federal or non-federal grants and contracts. It does not include, however, those graduate students who hold traineeships under training grants.

Spouses of students in the above categories seeking tuition assessment at the resident rate must complete the application below to be eligible on the basis of their spouse's graduate assistantship.
