**Please note:**

U.S. Citizens

• Graduate students whose permanent home address is in the 14 westernmost counties of Kentucky pay in state tuition. Those include Ballard, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Crittenden, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Marshal, McCracken, Trigg and Union.

• Graduate students whose permanent home address is in Missouri pay in state tution when registering for 6 hours or less of coursework.

• For any semester in which you hold a graduate assistantship contract, you will receive a tuition "waiver" and will pay only fees* for the number of credit hours you register for.

International Students

• INS requires that international students (F-1) be registered "full time" to remain "in status" (good legal standing). At SIUC, for graduate students, this means that you are required to register for 9 semester hours of coursework fall and spring semesters if you do not hold an assistantship or if you hold a fellowship. You are required to register for only 6 credit hours fall and spring semesters if you hold a graduate assistantship. You are not required to register for summer semester unless it is your first term of admission in the Graduate School, or if you hold a graduate assistantship for the summer term (3 hours of registration is required in the summer to hold an assistantship).

• For any semester in which you hold a graduate assistantship contract, you will receive a tuition "waiver" and will pay only fees* - for a 50% contract the tuition waiver will cover up to 15 credit hours fall or spring semester; for a 25% contract, the tuition waiver will cover up to 9 credit hours for fall or spring semester. The tuition waiver for summer is for only 8 credit hours.

• If you hold an assistantship contract for fall and spring semester (in that order), you will receive an automatic tuition waiver for the following summer semester, whether or not you hold a contract for the summer (limited to 8 credit hours).

• For any semester in which a graduate student holds an assistantship contract, their spouse and/or children may pay in-state tuition. The appropriate paperwork must be filled out in advance in the Graduate Registration Office in Woody Hall B104 (this should be done in the Graduate Registration Office even if the spouse is registering as an undergraduate).
