C. The waiver program covers per credit tuition and fees only; it does not cover lab fees, course fees, or textbooks.
D. Application
forms may be obtained from the GED instructors, the GED Office at each of the
Centers, or from the department of secretary in the Developmental
Studies Office on campus.
E. The tuition waiver will apply to a class schedule of 1-17 credits. The waiver may be used in any of the four terms immediately following the completion of a GED. The waiver may only be applied to tuition and fees in one of the four eligible terms.
