Eligibility

TA Fee Deferment Program

Effective Fall 2023, the TA Fee Deferment program is discontinued. 

The TA Fee Deferment program previously allowed graduate students appointed at a minimum of 25% for the entire quarter, to pay the balance of their registration fees (excluding nonresident supplemental tuition) through payroll deduction. 

Per the current ASE/BX Bargaining Agreement, partial fee remission will cover 100% of campus fees in the affected graduate employment titles, effective for academic year 2023-2024.

TA Loan Program

Available in Fall quarter only.  Available to new students or students who did not receive funding equivalent to a 25% TA salary in the month of September (salary scale effective in the month of September will be used).  Students must be appointed at a minimum of 25% for an entire quarter; must present formal offer letter at the time of application.

Application Process

Services & Support

TA Loan Forms should be submitted by submitting a ticket to Services & Support: https://support.ucsd.edu/students

Department Submits Form

If the department submits the form on behalf of the student, we will add the student as a Watcher on the ticket; this will serve as notification that the form has been received and then processed.  This process will be different for departments who submit the forms in bulk.  In those cases, we will not add the students as Watchers. 

Student Submits Form

If your student submits the form, we will add both the Home and Hiring Department Coordinators as Watchers on the ticket; this will serve as notification that the form has been received and then processed.
