University Graduate Funding Package or Scholarship/Award Payments

• Request a Tuition Deferral (Register without Payment)

  You are eligible for a tuition fee deferral on the basis of a University Graduate Funding Package which could include Major Award, Research Stipend, or Teaching Stipend funding (register without payment) if all of the conditions are satisfied:

  1. you have paid for prior session fees
  2. have a University graduate funding package for the current session, and apply for a tuition fee deferral prior to your division’s Fall-Winter session Pay or Defer to Register deadline or Summer session Pay or Defer to Register deadline.

  Request online deferral by logging into ACORN.

  • Click on the Student Loan/Fin. Aid button on the ‘Financial Accounts’ section on the ACORN. You will know immediately if your tuition fee deferral application is successful or not and the application will be noted in your activity log.
  • If your tuition fee deferral request is successful, ACORN will change your registration status from “Invited to Register” to “Registered”.  Report registration status issues to SGS Student Services.

  You can request a fee deferral prior to the Fall-Winter session Pay or Defer to Register deadline or Summer session Pay or Defer to Register deadline, if you are not receiving loans or a university funding package, but have proof of university funding (TA, RA, major award, etc.) which exceeds the Minimum Payment to Register (unpaid fees from prior sessions and Fall term program/incidental/ancillary fees), by submitting the Register Without Payment (Fee Deferral) form to:

  • your graduate unit before the Pay or Defer to Register deadline
  • SGS Student Services after the Pay or Defer to Register deadline (late registration fees will be assessed).
