The standard is 3 years for a M.S. degree and three additional years for a Ph.D., or a combined total of 6 years for a student who enters graduate school at FSU without a M.S. degree. Students who enter our graduate program with a M.S. degree will have a limit of 4 years for waiver support as a doctoral student except when 'required by a departmental committee to follow the same program as a student entering without a M.S. degree' in which case they fall under the same 6 year standard as students entering without a M.S. degree. Students who have carried a heavy instructional load throughout their graduate study may be approved for an additional year of waiver support on a case by case basis. Students receiving teaching or research assistantships for at least one-quarter time or who are on a fellowship are eligible for matriculation waivers. These provide for a waiver of the in-state tuition fees only.
