New Regulations for Tennessee Students

The Tennessee Eligibility Verification for Entitlements Act (EVEA) became effective on October 1, 2012. The EVEA requires state public institutions of higher education to verify that persons seeking a "state public benefit" are either a "United States citizen" or "lawfully present" in the United States.

Students that have not verified Tennessee residency will have their tuition charged at the out-of-state rate beginning with the Spring 2013 term. Click here for more information and instruction.

Support MTSU's New Food Pantry!

Due to an increasing number of hungry students, the University College Advising Center (UCAC)
has started a food pantry for MTSU students.

The need is here, we just need your help to make it happen:
You can help with stocking the pantry by donating food items or just by getting the word out.

If you know hungry students that need assistance please contact Becca Seul, (Becca.Seul@mtsu.edu, x4910) 
the point person for the pantry, or feel free to send them over.

The UCAC will take donations any time between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
For further information about this new initiative, check out the UCAC Food Pantry Flyer!
