Resident Graduate Student Quarterly Fee Structure*

Resident Graduate Student Fee Remission

With respect to Partial Fee Remission for TAs, Readers, Tutors/Remedial Tutors, and other eligible Academic Student Employees at appointments of at least 25%, the current Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that the University shall provide a Partial Fee Remission of 100% of educational and registration fees. (Please refer to the UAW and UC Agreement.) The remissions quoted above are consistent with the terms of the current contract. Please be aware that future wages, terms, and conditions are subject to modification based on the collective bargaining process.

GSFR applies fall, winter, and spring quarters to eligible registered graduate student academic appointees. Students whose fees are paid through an extramural fellowship are not eligible for this program. Teaching Assistants, Associates, Tutors, Remedial Tutors, and Readers whose appointments total at least 25%, and GSRs whose appointments total at least 25% but less than 35%, and meet all other criteria are eligible for partial fee remission and Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP) credit. GSRs who are appointed at least 35% and meet all other criteria qualify for a full fee remission and GSHIP credit.

In Absentia Registration

* Graduate students who must remain registered and whose research or study requires them to remain outside California for the duration of a quarter may be eligible for in absentia registration. Students who qualify for in absentia will receive an 85% reduction of their registration fee, education fee and campus based fees. Students will still be charged for health insurance, but they may waive out of it. Students are responsible for non-resident tuition, if applicable. Students apply by completing an In Absentia petition and securing Graduate Division approval. Students are responsible for taking care of their registration.

A student who continues to be enrolled or who re-enrolls three calendar years after advancing to candidacy will be charged the full non-resident rate in effect at the time.

Release of Information from Student records (FERPA)

The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 governs the disclosure of information from student records in conjunction with pertinent provisions of the state of California Education Code. This Act assures currently and previously enrolled students the right to inspect and review their educational records. It also outlines the choices available to students regarding the release of their information. The Office of the Registrar has guidelines and policies on the confidentiality of student records that have been specifically prepared for UCSB.
