All non-resident military tuition waivers, TA, and VA are processed after the free-drop period for each session to ensure schedule accuracy. Students may receive a bill for the total cost of tuition and fees from the Office of the Bursar before the college has processed the forms. This is common and not a cause for alarm—we will apply all billing, waivers, and TA as soon as possible each semester.
