Who pays for fourth quarter tuition and fees?
Graduate students holding a 50 percent or greater GA appointment for three consecutive quarters are entitled to a full fee authorization during the immediately following fourth quarter without being on appointment. Students using the fourth quarter fee authorization must be registered for at least nine hours of credit, except during the Summer Quarter, when the minimum is seven. A graduate student who elects not to enroll during the fourth consecutive quarter may not defer the use of the fourth quarter fee authorization. Responsibility for the fourth quarter fee authorization is shared proportionally by the GA-appointing units from the previous three quarters. Generally, this fourth quarter fee authorization will be for students who are taking classes but are not on GA appointments during the fourth quarter. In cases where students are on GA appointments for less than 50 percent during the fourth quarter, the fee authorization responsibility is shared proportionally by the GA-appointin
