Financial aid and work-study programs are also available through the Financial Aid Office. Graduate applicants must be accepted for graduate study by March 15 or October 15 to be considered for assistantships for fall and spring semesters, respectively. These opportunities significantly reduce tuition and costs for attending graduate school. There is an additional health service fee. A modest increase in these fees is expected for the 2001-02 academic year.
Most graduate students live off campus in nearby apartments.
A student admitted into the Graduate School who desires residence hall housing must request an application from the Office of Housing Operations.
