1149 resig-

semester or Summer Session and continue as students after the date of nation shall be subject to payment of tuition and fees. A new subsection, with a subtitle, to be added:

Registration of Staff Members in the Graduate College (fj Graduate students who are academic employees of the University, or of allied surveys and laboratories located on the Urbana-Champaign campus, may register in University courses for which they a r e eligible for admission without payment of the tuition fee and the laboratory, library, and supply fee, provided their official appointments call for not more than 62.5 per cent of full-time services for a minimum of four months during the semester in which exemption is desired. Graduate students employed under two or more appointments from the University or allied surveys and laboratories shall have their basis for exemption computed on an equivalent scale. Graduate students not subject to tuition and fees by reason of their appointments who (1) resign from their positions before the midpoint of the semester, (2) complete clearance for graduation within one week following the date of resignation, and (3) leave the campus, shall not be subject to payment of tuition and fees for that semester and they need not cancel their registration in University courses for the semester. Such persons who continue as active students after the date of resignation shall be subject to payment of tuition and fees. ( g ) Those graduate students, including fellows, who are not exempt from the payment of tuition and fees in accordance with paragraph ( a ) above shall be subject to payment of tuition and fees unless they are awarded tuition and fee waivers (in whole or in part) by the Graduate College. These tuition and fee waivers shall be awarded at the discretion of the Graduate College as authorized by the Board of Trustees. (h) Graduate students holding appointments during the second semester of an academic year either as employees or fellows, and for whom tuition or fees have been provided through exemption, waiver, or cash payment by an outside agency, shall be exempt from the payment of the same kinds of tuition and fees for the Summer Session immediately following, provided they hold no appointments during the Summer Session. Graduate students holding summer session appointments as fellows or as employees requiring at least seven weeks of service shall be subject to such tuition and fees as would be assessed in accordance with the principles expressed in sections (a) and (b) above. (i) These rules do not apply to graduate nonacademic employees who are governed by the same regulations applying to undergraduate employees, as stated in paragraphs (a) through (e) above. (j) Graduate students who hold any type of University appointment including that of fellow, may not accept additional employment from the University or any allied agency without the approval of the Dean of the Graduate College. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, these amendments were adopted.

TUITION AND FEE WAIVERS IN THE GRADUATE COLLEGE (22) The Dean of the Graduate College recommends authorization of 450 tuition and fee waivers a year to graduate students which would include (a) all University fellows, i.e. those whose stipends are paid from University funds; (b) most fellows whose stipends are paid from endowments or other trust funds received by the University for such purposes; (c) a number of teaching assistants who for reasons beyond their control may be compelled to accept teaching assignments which do not carry exemption from payment of tuition and other fees on the basis of their appointments; and (d) all foreign graduate students who qualify for tuition and fee waivers. This latter would leave present foreign scholarships available exclusively to undergraduate students. It should be noted that the term "tuition and fee waiver" is used here rather than the term "scholarship." This is a desirable change in nomenclature which would leave the term "scholarship" to apply to undergraduate students only. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Herrick, this recommendation was approved.
