Special Reduced Tuition and Fees

1. Non-matriculated native speakers of any foreign language may be permitted to register without fee for credit or as auditors in literature courses in that language. The consent of the course instructor may be required for all such registration.
2. Nevada resident high school students may enroll in a distance learning, college-credit course delivered to an off-campus site for a $25 registration fee per course if the course fee is approved by the institutional President. The term "high school students" includes students formally enrolled in a school district sponsored Adult Education High School Diploma programs. (B/R 8/06)
3. Nevada resident high school students may enroll in remedial and 100-level courses offered by an NSHE institution for a reduced registration fee per course if the course is delivered on the high school campus, excluding high schools located on an NSHE campus, and approved by the institutional President. The reduced registration fees shall be determined by the President. (B/R 8/06)
4. Any member of the active Nevada National Guard, including a Nevada National Guard recruit, may be permitted to register for credit without a registration fee, or except as otherwise provided, laboratory fee(s).
   1. This policy is applicable during Fall and Spring terms only.
   2. Academic credit courses that will lead to the degree or certificate, including state-supported distance education courses, independent learning, and continuing education courses are eligible for the fee waiver. Non-state-supported independent study and correspondence courses are not eligible for waiver under this policy. (B/R 10/07)
   3. Laboratory fees associated with all courses numbered below the 300 level are eligible for waiver under this policy. Exceptions to the waiver of laboratory fees includes: 1) per semester fees, such as the Health Service fee; 2) special course fees for purposes other than class supplies—including individual instruction, third-party charges, and special transportation requirements; 3) fees for actual class cost in excess of $100; and 4) technology fees.
   4. A person to whom the fee waiver is awarded shall be deemed a bona fide resident of Nevada for tuition purposes.
   5. To be eligible for the fee waiver, the person must be a member in good standing or a recruit of the active Nevada National Guard at the beginning of and throughout the entire semester for which the waiver is granted.
   6. The member or recruit of the Nevada National Guard must achieve at least a minimum 2.00 semester grade point average in order to maintain subsequent eligibility for the fee waiver.
   7. The institution may request the Adjutant General to verify the membership in the active Nevada National Guard of a person who is seeking or has been granted a fee waiver.
   8. If a fee waiver is granted to a Nevada National Guard recruit and the recruit does not enter full-time National Guard duty within one (1) year after enlisting, the student shall reimburse the Board of Regents for all previously waived registration fees and laboratory fees if the failure to enter full-time National Guard duty is attributable to the recruit’s own conduct.
   9. If a fee waiver is granted to a member of the Nevada National Guard and the member does not achieve at least a minimum 2.00 semester grade point average and remain a member in good standing with the guard, the student shall reimburse the Board of Regents for the semester’s waived registration fees and laboratory fees and will not be allowed to register for additional courses until the debt is paid in full.
5. Federally funded teacher training programs will carry an exception to in-state and out-of-state and tuition rates for contiguous, WICHE and Good Neighbor States. UNLV may accept federally funded teacher training programs with mandated reduced per credit fees; undergraduate, minimum $15 per credit; graduate, minimum $30 per credit; all course offerings will be approved and delivery overseen through the usual academic processes.
