Nebraska residency: Students who have recently resided or enrolled outside the state of Nebraska may be classified as non-residents for tuition purposes. For ways to qualify as a Nebraska resident, download the Residence Policy for Tuition Purposes (PDF). The file includes an application form.
Auditing: Tuition for audited courses is the same as tuition for courses taken for a grade or pass/no-pass.
