Academic Common Market
Nonresident Exemption
Academic Common Market out-of-state tuition waivers are available for specific academic programs for students from certain states. Application must be made first with the awarding state. The student must be a legal resident of that state and approved for a specific major at MSU. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply. A qualified student must maintain full time status. The waiver is 100 percent of out-of-state tuition and will remain at this level unless the student's field of study changes or a student no longer has full time status. To be eligible for the non-resident waiver during the first semester of enrollment, applications and resident verification must be submitted to and approved by the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to the first day of class. For more information about submission and deadlines, please contact that office at 662-325-3742. Students seeking information on the Academic Common Market waiver should write to the Academic Common Market at the Southern Regional Education Board, 592 10th Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30318-5790 or visit SREB. Locally, information is available in the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Office, 608 Allen Hall, telephone: 662-325-3742.
