PURPOSE: To determine standards for Waiver/Reductions of University fees.

SCOPE: Applies to all Northeastern University departments.

POLICY:
1. All tuition and fees at the University are established and approved by the Board of Trustees. These rates are used to budget revenues and expenses for the institution. In many cases, there are reduced rates for members of the Northeastern community, thereby making facilities more accessible to faculty, staff, and students.

2. The decision to reduce or waive our established fee is a policy decision of the institution and is made with consideration to the mission of the University. Waivers may be granted, either on a case-by-case basis or for a specified group, only at the discretion of the President or the Senior Vice President for Administration and Finance or the Treasurer. A request for a waiver should be made in writing and include the rationale for the request. The request should also address the need for indemnification and insurance, where applicable.

3. No other individuals are authorized to waive
