Out of State Fee Waiver Policy
Out-of-State Fee Waiver Policy
SUBR endeavors to increase its national and international footprint. At the flagship campus of the Southern University system, SUBR intends to position itself as a global university. To that end, SUBR’s student population must reflect the global diversity of our international community. The University’s mission strongly supports its continuing efforts of providing a high quality global educational experience to its students and graduating competent, informed and productive citizens. Accordingly, every appropriate strategy must be implemented to assist in achieving this mission. In an effort to positively impact SUBR’s recruitment, retention and graduation rates and to significantly enhance and expand its student diversity, the University offers the following comprehensive out-of- state fee waiver policy.
A full out-of-state fee waiver will be granted to any qualified incoming freshman who graduated from a high school from any state in the USA and who meets the following criteria:
1. Minimum composite ACT score of 20 (SAT equivalent; AND
2. Minimum ACT English score of 18 and math score of 19 (SAT equivalent); AND
3. Minimum high school GPA of 2.7 on a scale 4.0 scale.
Any student who wishes to continue receiving the out-of-state waiver beyond the initial academic year in which the waiver is awarded must remain a full-time student with a minimum of 12 hours (non-developmental) course load per semester and maintain a cumulative minimum 2.5 GPA.
Continuing out-of-state students who have already been granted a waiver (prior to Fall 2015) will be governed by the criteria/requirements that were in effect at the time that the waiver was initially granted.
This SUBR Out-of-State Fee Waiver Policy is a comprehensive policy that covers all qualified first-time freshmen, effective Fall 2015.
