Out of State Residency Reclassification

In accordance with Section 1005 of the Isakson and Roe Act, certain out-of-state Veterans and their dependents may be eligible for in-state tuition and fee rates at WCSU.  Covered individuals include:

• • A Veteran using VA educational benefits under the Chapter 33: Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Chapter 30: Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD), or Chapter 31: Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E), who lives in Connecticut (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in WCSU after being discharged from a period of active duty service for at least 90 days since September 10, 2001.
