Subject: NRST Reduction Extension & Update

Hi All,

Remember that *some students are eligible to extend the NRST
reduction beyond 9 quarters*. In addition, we've just been given approval
to extend the eligibility to students who entered in the 2020/2021 and
2021/2022 cohorts. The eligibility previously ended with the 2019/2020 year.

*Information below and on our website
<https://live-ucr-graduate.pantheonsite.io/regulations-and-procedures#nonresident_supplemental_tuition_nrst_9qtr_reduction_after_advancement>.
*The petition to request NRST reduction is on R’Grad. Let me know if you
have questions.

**********

After advancement to candidacy, non-resident PhD students automatically
receive a 9-quarter 100% reduction of the NRST fee.

The Graduate Division has received approval from campus administration to
allow graduate students up to 12 quarters of reduced NRST after advancement
to candidacy. In order to verify and track requests, we've developed this
procedure for students to apply.
Criteria:

1. Students requesting the reduction must fall into one of two categories:

   - Have entered the PHD program in cohorts between Fall 2014 and Fall
   2021 for programs with a 6 year normative time* OR
   - Have entered the PhD program in cohorts between Fall 2015 and Fall
   2021 for programs with a 5 year normative time*.

*normative time for a program can be found in the General Catalog
<https://graduate.ucr.edu/catalog.ucr.edu>

2. Students must be at least in their 9th quarter after advancement to
candidacy to request the initial extension for the 10th quarter.
