Tuition Classification
Welcome to the Tuition Classification website. Here you will find information on how to change your tuition classification or if you qualify for an out-of-state tuition waiver. We also help students update their immigration status if it changes while they are enrolled. All decisions are based on Board of Regent's Policy 4.3 Student Residency. Please review our FAQ page to find answers to the most common questions.
There are three tuition classifications per BOR policy.
You are a US Citizen or eligible non-citizen status under Federal Student Aid Title IV regulations
AND
meet the BOR Residency policy of being a Georgia resident. See Georgia Residency page for more details.
Homeless Status:
You are a US Citizen under the age of 24 who does not meet the Georgia domicile requirements but who is considered homeless and can provide documentation from CARE Services, a social worker, shelter, or high school counselor verifying that you are homeless
OR
you are a US Citizen or eligible non-citizen status under Federal Student Aid Title IV regulations who does not meet the BOR Residency policy.
AND
you did not complete your high school education in the United States or a US territory.
