Nonresidents of Alabama

All full-time and part-time students who do not meet specific criteria are required to pay out-of-state tuition at a rate of two (2) times the in state rate. All other fees are the same. Students should contact the Office of Student Services for further information regarding appropriate tuition rates.

The following individuals shall be charged a rate of tuition not to exceed the in-state rate for tuition and fees purposes:

• Anyone using benefits under the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (38 U.S.C. § 3311(b)(9)) who lives in Alabama while attending a school located in Alabama (regardless of his/her formal State of residence).
• Anyone using transferred Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® benefits (38 U.S.C. § 3319) who lives in Alabama while attending a school located in Alabama (regardless of his/her formal State of residence) and the transferor is a member of the uniformed service who is serving on active duty.
• Anyone using educational assistance under chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation/Employment (VR&E), will also be charged the resident rate. Effective for courses and terms beginning after March 1, 2019, a public institution of higher learning must charge the resident rate to chapter 31 participants, as well as the other categories of individuals described above. When an institution charges these individuals more than the rate for resident students, VA is required to disapprove programs of education sponsored by VA.
• A Veteran using educational assistance under either chapter 30 (Montgomery G.I. Bill -Active Duty Program) or chapter 33 (Post-9/11 G.I. Bill®), of title 38, United States Code, who lives in Alabama while attending a school located in Alabama (regardless of his/her formal State of residence).

The person so described must have enrolled in the school prior to the expiration of the three-year period following discharge or release as described above and must be using education benefits under either chapter 30 or chapter 33, of title 38, United States Code.
