Section 16-64-4

Tuition rates for nonresident; extension of resident tuition rates to students residing in counties within 50 miles of campus.

(a) Each Alabama public institution of higher education shall charge each undergraduate student who is registered as a nonresident a minimum tuition of two times the resident tuition rate charged by that institution. This rate shall be effective for students who register at an institution beginning August 1, 1997. A nonresident graduate student at an institution shall be charged a rate of tuition that is at least at the level of tuition charged to a nonresident undergraduate.

(b) The governing boards of each four-year public institution of higher education shall retain the power to extend resident tuition rates to students who reside in any county within 50 miles of a campus of the institution; provided, however, that campus must be in existence and operating as of January 1, 1996. For public two-year institutions, the State Board of Education, upon the recommendation of the Chancellor of the Department of Postsecondary Education, shall retain the power to extend resident tuition rates to students who reside in any county within 50 miles of a campus of the institution; provided, however, that campus must be in existence and operating as of January 1, 1996.
