Application Fee Waivers
Application fees will only be waived in the following situations:
- When students submit a Request for Waiver of College Application Fee from the SAT or ACT Program Fee Waiver Service. These forms are obtained from the High School counselors. Students must submit these once they are completed to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The SAT or ACT Test Fee Waiver forms will not be accepted as application fee waivers.
- For students in financial distress as evidenced by documentation received from an official government services agency, or from the University Financial Aid Office. Letters of request from the student's high school counselors on their own will normally not be sufficient to waive the fee. All such requests are reviewed by the Associate Director of Admissions.
