Such military personnel need only to provide evidence of such information to assure proper classification upon admission to any academic program offered at Valdosta State University.
Waiver is renewable annually.
Military personnel who are not currently legal residents of the state of Georgia, but who are in the state on active duty military assignment were extended a special exception on the non-resident fee assessment by the Board of Regents in 1977. Military personnel and their dependents who are assigned to System institutions for educational purposes are not qualified for the special exception and must otherwise qualify or be assessed the normal non-resident tuition. Normally, change in legal address for military purposes, withholding and payment of state income taxes, payment of ad valorem taxes, claiming homestead exemption, etc. for a twelve month period prior to severance or transfer shall be considered proof to reside permanently in the state, irrespective of military commitments. It shall be the student's responsibility to register under correct classification for tuition purposes. Failure to notify appropriate University officials when changes in military status or station occur shall result in retroactive assessment of fees where detected.
