Students cannot begin the process of establishing Nevada residency for tuition purposes while participating in and receiving the benefits of WUE or Nevada Advantage non-resident reduced tuition programs.
A student who attends the University on the WUE or Nevada Advantage reduced tuition program shall not be reclassified as a Nevada resident student unless the student has been subsequently enrolled as a non-resident student for at least 12 months immediately prior to the date of application for reclassification to resident student status.
