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.
