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.
