Summary for Classification of Students for Tuition Purposes

I. General Statements:

1. The Arizona Board of Regents is required by law to establish for the universities under its jurisdiction and control guidelines which provide uniform criteria for determining the tuition status of any student, and which provide uniform procedures for review of that status. The Board has adopted policies concerning tuition classification to meet this requirement.
