Part of the process of improving the situation for non-resident students requires that we collect information on current non-resident students. We've just put together a survey asking about specific information which the university believes will be helpful in revamping the policy. A copy of the survey will be sent to all non-resident students by November 1, 2002. Please take the time to fill it out. Click here for more information.
If the non-resident tuition policy is changed, it can't be done in a vacuum. The most helpful generator of new ideas comes from looking at what our competitor universities do. Click here for more information, and also to share your ideas about what a new policy might look like.
