Military Washington Residency Form

 

VA Military Residency for tuition purposes

Use this form to apply for Washington residency for tuition purposes.


This is a one-time request. If you have been granted resident tuition in a previous term, you do not need to reapply. Your residency status will be listed as Non-Resident in myWSU but your tuition rate will update to the resident amount before tuition is due. If you have questions regarding your residency for tuition status, email residency@wsu.edu.


Use your WSU email address as your contact email. We are not able to process requests with private email addresses. This application may require further documentation - requests will be sent to your WSU email address via Smartsheet. If resident tuition is granted, your Cost of Attendance will be listed as Non-Resident. If you are otherwise eligible for residency in Washington, you may wish to apply for full Washington resident status to show the Resident Cost of Attendance each term.


More information about residency. Your request will be processed by the Office of the Registrar and/or Veterans Affairs. Questions? residency@wsu.edu.

 

 

Check your residency coding in myWSU before applying for residency. If Tuition Residency is coded as a RESIDENT, you will retain your residency as long as you remain continuously enrolled.


Check your status at: myWSU > Financial Aid tile > Awards > Summary > Residency Status > Tuition Residency.

 

 

Term & Campus Information

 

Residency is needed only for Fall and Spring terms. All other terms do not charge Non-Resident tuition. Residency requests are accepted no later than the last day of the term. Requests after this date will be processed for the next term.
