Section 54.2001 Continued Receipt of Exemptions and Waivers has been added to the Texas Education Code and requires The University of Texas at Arlington to comply with the new legislation. Additionally, hours considered excessive under Texas Education Code, Section 54.014 Tuition for Repeated or Excessive Hours, may not be eligible to receive the exemption or waiver.

Texas Education Code Section 51.9095 requires all males between the ages of 18 and 25 receiving a loan, grant, scholarship, or other financial assistance funded by state revenue to register for Selective Service in order to qualify for specified exemptions and waivers. To verify your registration status, please visit http://www.sss.gov.

UTA reserves the right to reduce or cancel the amount of institutional/state grant funds offered to students who receive specific federal, state, or institutional tuition waivers or other benefits that are designated to cover tuition and fees.

For additional information on waivers and exemptions, as well as other forms of financial aid, visit the College for All Texans website.

Students who feel that mitigating circumstances may have prevented them from complying with GPA or Excessive Hours policies may file an appeal by completing Waiver Appeal (Form 2-67) and submitting it to Student Accounts.
