Social Security Certification For Credit Tuition Waiver Form Page 2

Dear Student,

Due to changes in Maryland State Law (Maryland General Assembly House Bill 104), Anne Arundel

Community College has changed the Waivers to Tuition Policy for Maryland residents who are

certified as retired for disability. The Waiver to Tuition Policy now includes students with disabilities

as those out of the work force by reason of total and permanent disability and entering community

colleges. Additionally, all students who qualify for the waiver (SSI and SSDI) must now first complete

the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to receiving a tuition waiver.

These changes became effective for all classes that began after October 1, 2011.

Please complete the following steps to submit your request for a waiver to tuition at Anne Arundel

Community College (AACC):

Complete the FASFA for the award year in which you are applying for a waiver at

15 days prior to the start of the session in which the course is

offered. This includes complying with all requirements to determine your eligibility for

federal financial aid. Please contact the AACC Financial Aid office for assistance at 410-777-

2203.

Obtain a Certification for Tuition Waiver Form from the Cashiers Office or at the college’s

Complete Certification for Tuition Waiver Form by receiving certification by an official of

the Social Security Administration (or Railroad Retirement Board or former federal

Please Note: Students enrolled in credit coursework that exceeds 6 credits per semester must enroll

Tuition.
