Eligibility for In-State Tuition

Through Senate Bill 5194, Washington state allows anyone with a high school diploma or GED earned anywhere in the world who resides or establishes residence in Washington state for at least 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment to be eligible for in-state tuition. The Washington residence must be for purposes other than college. If a student takes any courses at another Washington college during the prior 12 months, they cannot have taken more than 6 credits in any given term. Students exceeding that limit must prove that they have a Washington residence for non-college reasons.

To see if you qualify, see the Washington State Higher Education Residency Affidavit.
