Graduate Degree Filing Fee

A candidate in good standing for a Master’s or Ph.D. degree need not be a registered student in the quarter in which s/he files the thesis or dissertation if, prior to the beginning of that quarter, the candidate has met all the other requirements for the degree and is in good standing. Instead of paying the University Registration fee and possibly nonresident tuition, the student is required to pay only the Filing Fee, amounting to one-half of the regular term University Registration Fee.

In order to be eligible for a filing fee, a student must have been either on an approved leave of absence or registered in the previous quarter.

A student using the Filing Fee should submit the application for Filing Fee, signed by all members of the Reading Committee by the end of the second week of the quarter These signatures signify that all members have read the thesis.
