Admissions Supplemental Application Fee Waiver
The following is an overview of the Admissions Supplemental Application Fee Waiver Request Process.
Supplemental Application Fee waiver requests must be explicitly requested after submitting their NursingCAS application and paying the NursingCAS Fee. Once these two steps are completed, applicants may request a fee waiver for the Supplemental Application Fee. Waivers are not offered for the NursingCAS fee.
If seeking a supplemental fee waiver, applicants should not pay the Supplemental Admissions Application Fee when prompted until hearing a decision on their request. Application fees are non-refundable.
Once an applicant pays the Supplemental Application Fee we will be unable to issue any refunds.
- Application for admission will be considered “incomplete” until all materials are received, the NursingCAS fee is paid and the Supplemental Application Fee is either paid or waived.
- All application requirements should be submitted via NursingCAS, including payment of the NursingCAS Fee, in order for a fee waiver request to be considered.
- A request for a waived Admission Application Fee will NOT impact nor influence any admissions decision.
- Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing Alumni, McNair Scholar, Active-duty Military, Veteran, Reserves or National Guard applicants will receive an automatic admissions fee waiver and do not need to submit a waiver request.

Overview of Waiver Request Process:
Waiver requests are processed on a case-by-case basis. Once a determination has been made the student will be notified in writing, by email. This information will not be released over the phone for privacy reasons; further, information concerning a student over 18 years of age cannot be released to the parent(s) or guardian as this information is covered under FERPA (the Privacy Act).
Please note: Unless they are not physically or mentally able to do so, this process should be initiated and completed by the prospective student.
Questions concerning this process should be directed to the Admissions Manager at 508-856-3488.
