Students classified as “in-state” for fee payment purposes are assessed tuition. Students classified as “out-of-state” for fee payment purposes are assessed additional non-resident tuition.

Official policies of the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees provide the basis for classifying students as either “in-state” or “out-of-state” for purposes of paying student fees. Board policies relating to residency status for fee payment purposes are included at the end of this chapter of the catalog. Out-of-state students who question their residency classification are encouraged to contact the Registrar’s Office, 146 Silas H. Hunt Hall, for more information about residency classification review procedures.

The Arkansan Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship Award Fee will be assessed for undergraduate non-residents (including transfer students) and international students who are receiving the Non-Resident Tuition Award. The fee will be 10, 20, 30 or 50 percent of the difference between the in-state and out-of-state tuition per semester as long as students are receiving the award.
