Often used by advanced students who are working on finishing up their dissertations off-Grounds, enrollment as a non-resident is a reduced tuition/fees option. Non-resident students are only required to pay the Non-resident fee for their enrollment to remain active. Payment of this fee does not accrue credits, and will not allow the deferral of student loans.
Non-resident enrollment means not being able to use the University of Virginia facilities or faculty time in a manner other than as a non-student. International Students who plan to remain in the US cannot enroll as non-residents and keep their student visa status. Questions regarding eligibility should be directed to Richard Tanson, Foreign Student Advisor, 207 Minor Hall, 982-3017.
