The application packet from the Graduate School provides information on all application procedures. Applicants applying for financial assistance are advised that early application increases the chances for receiving financial aid. The application deadlines for graduate students are July 15 for Fall semester admission, and November 15 for Spring semester admission. It is important for students to comply with all admission requirements noted in the Graduate School Admission Booklet. If these are not followed, the processing will be unduly delayed.
Students receiving departmental financial aid usually qualify for remission of tuition fees.
Financial Assistance Financial support for graduate students is available in various forms. It may include remission of tuition fees, through teaching assistantships, research assistantships, the work-study program, and University and state fellowships. Research assistantships provide students with the opportunity to work on research projects supervised by the civil engineering faculty. Stipends for teaching and research assistantships are in addition to remission of tuition fees. Low interest loans and other types of financial aid are available to qualified students through the Office of Student Financial Aid.
