Fees and Tuition Fees for full-time graduate students in academic departments are paid at the time of registration. Students who are not legal residents of California must pay an additional fee called the Non-Resident Fee. All first year domestic and international students pay the NRF. In case of doubt as to legal resident status, consult the Registrar's Office, Room 12, Mrak Hall (telephone (530) 752-2971). Financial Aid Office FAFSA Requirement: All graduate applicants who want to be considered for any type of financial support (i.e. work study assistance or loans) and who are US citizens, permanent residents or immigrants are required to file a "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) as early as possible, but no later than February 28. This form, submitted directly to the Federal Student Aid Program Office, Iowa City, Iowa via the internet or standard mail, is used to determine financial need only, a component of the eligibility criteria for many fellowships, and for all forms of financial aid. The FAFSA can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, North Hall beginning December 1 or on the web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. The FinancialAid Office provides financial assistance to qualified students in need of such help. Financial need is a major criterion for most loans and grants and is established by a review of the financial aid application, financial aid form, and income tax forms. More information on the types of grants and loans available can be obtained from the General Catalog or by contacting: Financial Aid Office University of California One Shields Avenue Davis, CA 95616 (530) 752-2390 www.faoman.ucdavis.edu Fellowship and Graduate Scholarships There are fellowships and scholarships, administered by the University, for which IPM graduate students are eligible.
