Waiver Purpose

Waiver of non-resident tuition differential for refugees, their spouse and dependents.

Community and technical colleges may waive all or a portion of the non-resident tuition differential for refugees, their spouse and dependents if the refugee is on parole status (allowed into the United States for humanitarian reasons); has received an immigrant visa or has applied for United States citizenship.

Non-resident differential is the difference between resident tuition (operating tuition) and non-resident tuition (operating tuition).
