Registration information Registration
• The domicile of a minor is normally that of the parent or legally appointed guardian. • International students attending Green River who have been issued an I-20 form are classified as non-resident regardless of length of residency in Washington state.
Nonresident Waiver The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges has authorized the colleges to waive a portion of the nonresident tuition rate for United States citizens and INS Permanent residents who have not met the above criteria for in-state residency. Green River honors this automatic waiver at the time student makes application to the college. The student pays the non-Washington resident tuition rate (see chart on page 4).
HB 1079 (Undocumented Person) Waiver Effective July 1, 2003, Washington state law was changed to make certain students who are not permanent residents or citizens of the United States eligible to pay resident tuition rates. To qualify students must complete an affidavit declaring they have resided in Washington state for three years immediately prior to receiving a high school diploma and completed the full senior year at a Washington high school or completed the equivalent of a high school diploma in Washington.
Veterans Services—ext. 2466 Veterans Administration education assistance benefits are computed as follows: 12 or more credits equals full time; 9-11 credits equals three-quarter time; 6-8 credits equals half time; 5 or fewer credits equals tuition fees only.
