While FYAS courses are tuition-free, students must pay for their course materials (MyLabMath textbook software) and transportation to and from campus.
FYAS provides waivers for students experiencing financial need. If you anticipate a need for financial assistance with the MyLabMath textbook software, please complete the FYAS Waiver Form. All requests are reviewed by Financial Aid.
Textbook Waiver
Eligibility:
- Students enrolled in a FYAS math course are eligible to apply for the FYAS Textbook Waiver.
Waiver decision process:
After submitting the FYAS Textbook Waiver, students should begin their FYSM Math course with 14-day temporary access to the MyLabMath online textbook. Requests may take up to 5 business days to process through Financial Aid. FYAS will inform students of a decision through email. Prior to the 14-day temporary access expiration date, students approved for the waiver will receive an MLM code.
Additional guidelines:
- While FYAS can provide financial assistance by distributing a MyLabMath code, FYAS does not reimburse or refund an already purchased MLM through Pearson.
- FYAS does not offer general textbook financial support and can only process requests for FYSM MyLabMath (the online textbook required for FYAS Math courses at DePaul).
CTA Waiver
Eligibility:
- Students enrolled in an on-campus FYAS course are eligible for a FYAS-Ventra card
Waiver decision process: - FYAS CTA Waiver requests are processed through Financial Aid and may take up to 3 business days to process. FYAS will inform students of a decision through email and provide instructions for obtaining their Ventra card.
Additional guidelines:Students enrolled in a Summer or Winter Intersession course that is not a FYAS course are not eligible for the CTA waiver.
