Not all degree programs qualify applicants for a fee waiver. If you think you are eligible for a waiver, please submit your application and the fee waiver request at the same time, right in the application form. Waiver requests are reviewed and notifications are sent within one to three business days. Whenever possible, please submit your application with the fee waiver request at least three days before your application deadline. If your request is approved, you will receive an email confirming that your Cornell graduate application has been received. If your request is denied, you will receive an email notification asking you to revisit your application and pay the fee.
