Can an applicant share their fee waiver code with other applicants?

No, each fee waiver code is unique and can only be redeemed once. We recommend communicating with applicants that they should not share codes with other applicants. If an applicant does share a code with another applicant, they will not be able to use it themselves.

  • Use the fee waiver code before the program's deadline date.

Can fee waiver codes be applied after an applicant submits and pays?

No, fee waiver codes cannot be redeemed after an application is submitted. No fee refunds can be issued for unused fee waiver codes.

Note that if the applicant misses your program deadline because they are waiting for your fee waiver code, they must request a deadline extension from you; contact a member of your account team for assistance.

How will my institution know that the intended applicant used the fee waiver code?

Liaison tracks each fee waiver code, when it was redeemed, and the applicant who redeemed it. Upon request, a member of your account team can generate a Fee Waiver Code Report that includes all fee waiver code batches generated within a specific date range.
