The Georgia Board of Regents requires that institutions confirm lawful presence for any student claiming eligibility for in-state tuition. Per BOR policy, a student’s eligibility for in-state tuition must be verified before that student is designated 作为合格的.

注意: fax any of the following documentation. Scan, or take a photo and e-mail, or print and mail to the address at the bottom of this page.

Failure to confirm legal presence by the first day of classes will result in an out-of-state residency classification and out-of-state fees will be assessed.

Students may be verified through one of the following options below:

Verification through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Simply comply with the requirements outlined by the Office of 招生 as you prepare to arrive at East Georgia State College.

All nonresident alien students on some sort of visa will need to submit immigration documents verifying their lawful status to the 招生办公室. 这些文件 may include an I-94 card, U.S. 公民身份 & Immigration Services (USCIS) approval 不ice or receipt 不ice, or other documentation confirming the student is in lawful 签证状态.
