Student Eligibility to Pay Resident Tuition

House Bill 1079 which took effect July 1, 2003 allows people who are not documented as citizens to attend college paying in-state tuition. Eligibility: People who have resided in Washington state for the three years immediately prior to receiving a high school diploma and completed the full senior year at a Washington High School or who have completed the equivalent of a high school diploma and resided in Washington state for the three years immediately before receiving the equivalent of the diploma and who have continuously resided in the state since earning the high school diploma or its equivalent.

Time of Degree Completion

Pursuant to E2SSB 5135, Skagit Valley College has developed polices to ensure enrolled undergraduates complete degree and certificate programs in a timely manner.

These policies address: (a) Students who accumulate more than one hundred twenty-five percent of the number of credits required to complete their respective associate degree or certificate programs; (b) Students who drop more than twenty-five percent of their course load before the grading period for the quarter or semester, which prevents efficient use of instructional resources; and (c) Students who remain on academic probation for more than one quarter or semester.
