Residency Policy
The State Board of Technical and Adult Education recognizes three student residency categories: in-state, out-of-state and international.

A student's legal residence shall determine the tuition rate paid by the student.

 

1) Students who are residents of the United
States and otherwise qualify as Georgia
residents shall pay tuition and fees pre-
scribed by the State Board for in-state
students.

2) Students who are residents of the United
States but do not otherwise qualify as
Georgia residents shall pay tuition and
fees at a rate two times that charged
in-state students. These students are
recognized as out-of-state students.

3) Students who are residents of a country
other than the United States and are
studying at a technical college shall pay
tuition and fees at a rate four times that
charged in-state students. These stu-
dents are recognized as international
students.
