Attention: Graduate Students Studying Off-Campus

Registered graduate students conducting research off-campus for the duration of the term may be eligible for a waiver of the transportation and infirmary fees. The deadline for requesting the waiver for the Spring 2012 semester is February 17, 2012.

The academic excellence and success fee, college fee, graduate active activity fee and technology fee portions of the comprehensive fee cannot be waived.

Graduate students living in campus dormitories or apartments are not eligible for waivers of the academic excellence and success fee, graduate fee, infirmary fee or transportation fee.

The graduate student pursuing research/dissertation off-campus must send an email or letter to his/her department secretary, graduate secretary or chairperson, who in turn affirms the off-campus study and then forwards the following information to the Student Accounts Office:

  • Name of the student,
  • Student Stony Brook Identification Number,
  • Semester and Year,
  • Verifying statement (such as: "To the best of my knowledge this student will be studying off-campus for the Spring 2012 semester or the semester in question").

E-mails from the department verifying the student's off-campus situation information must be forwarded to Floyd Haynes in the Student Accounts Office.

Department verifications can also be sent using inter-office mail to:

Student Accounts Office
254 Administration Building
Stony Brook University
Stony Brook, NY 11794-1301

Since fee waivers are semester specific, a new fee waiver must be filed through the department verification process for any future term within the first three weeks of the term.

Incomplete waiver requests (without name, identification, semester and year, or verifying statement) will not be honored. Fee waiver requests not verified by the department will not be considered.

There are no partial fee waivers. A full semester is considered from August 29, 2011 to December 12, 2011 for the Fall 2011 semester and January 23, 2012 to May 4, 2012 for the Spring 2012 semester. Students that are on campus at any time during the period specified are not eligible.

All fee waiver requests must be received at the Student Accounts Office by the third week of classes. For the Spring 2012 semester, the fee waiver request must have been received at the Student Accounts Office by February 17, 2012.

If the student remains off-campus for additional semesters, a new waiver must be filed for those semesters by the third week of classes for the respective semester.
