Non-resident (out-of-state) Tuition Waivers
As of autumn quarter 2005, the University of Washington Regents have approved new allowances for out-of-state tuition waivers for graduate and professional students who have been living (and studying) in WA for one year or more. Although waivers have been possible for some students in the past, this new ruling enables a broader range of non-resident students to become eligible. To learn more about the waivers, how to become eligible, and how to apply, visit the Residence Classification Office web site at http://www.washington.edu/students/reg/residency.html#waiver
Note that additional information specific to eligible non-citizens, military personnel, and American Indians is also available on the web site.
Please contact the Residence Classification Office ( resquest@u.washington.edu or 206-543-5932) directly if you have questions after reviewing their web site.
