Tuition remission
The university bills all students for registered courses, including students who hold assistantships. These bills will include charges for tuition and fees. Students who hold assistantships may disregard the tuition and health insurance portion of their bill, but must pay all other fees promptly.
- International student fee
- Student center fee
- Student recreation fee
- Student activities fee
- University Health and Counseling Service fee
Tuition remission information will appear on your student account starting the eighth week of each semester. Tuition remission is provided as part of an assistantship during the dates of the appointment for courses in the student’s degree program as approved by an academic advisor and by the graduate school. If the student leaves the university or switches to another program within the university mid-semester, the student will then be responsible to pay tuition for that semester. If after the eighth week, the tuition waiver has not been posted, please contact the Khoury graduate administration so that we can make sure the credit is applied to your account.

Taxes
Assistantships do not cover state or federal taxes. U.S. citizens and permanent residents must complete Form W-4 at the Office of Student Employment, Graduate Assistantships & Fellowships. Please go here for the list of forms. International students should contact the Office of Global Services (OGS) for information regarding taxation.
SGAs stipends are taxed as income. Tuition remission is not subject to taxation.
The human resources/payroll office deducts the federal and state taxes, and credits your account with the balance. SGAs are not subject to FICA (Social Security) tax due to the student’s full-time student status. Students must remain enrolled as a full-time student throughout the duration of the appointment. Failure to maintain full-time status (registering for 8 SH per term) may subject the student to FICA tax withholding including back taxes and/or penalties for any semester the student held an assistantship and did not maintain proper full-time status.

International student information
International students who do not have a Social Security number will need to complete an SGA Social Security Number Letter Request form, which can be found on the OGS website. This completed OGS-approved letter must be submitted to a local Social Security office in order to request a Social Security number. This should be done at the beginning of the semester. The process takes two to four weeks on average for the Social Security office to issue a Social Security number once they have received the appropriate paperwork. Students are then required to report their SSN to student employment when it has been received.

Orientation program for new teaching assistants
There is a university-wide new PhD student orientation every year prior to the fall semester. This orientation is intended to be an overview for all university teaching assistants.

More information will be sent to students in the weeks prior to the start of the academic term.
All Khoury SGAs who will be working as course assistants are required to attend the TA orientation prior to the start of their first term in the program.
Course registration
Students receiving an SGA must be registered for a full-time course load by the end of the second week of the fall and spring semesters. Per university regulations, failure to register may result in loss of benefits. Students register through the myNortheastern web portal. Any registrations made after the second week of the semester require the approval of the graduate school.
