6 Tuition Break, the New England Regional Student Program Tuition Break The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) Tuition Break officially known as the New England Regional Student Program (RSP) enables eligible students to be charged a regional tuition rate, which is lower than the regular out-of-state tuition rate at participating New England public colleges and universities. How students become eligible Eligible students must be residents of one of the six New England states Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont. 1. Eligibility for approved programs Students may be eligible when enrolled in a degree program that is not offered by a public college or university in their home state but is approved through the RSP and offered by an out-of-state public college or university in another New England state. NEBHE publishes annual lists of degree programs that are approved through the RSP Tuition Break on its website at under the Find a Program tab. and bachelor s degree programs are listed in this catalog. How to apply Select a college that offers a degree program approved through the RSP Tuition Break. Complete that college s admissions application and declare the RSP degree program as their intended major. Note: Some programs may have special requirements or may not be available to freshman students. Once accepted to the college, confirm with the admissions office that the college has granted RSP status. 2. Eligibility for proximity Some colleges allow proximity eligibility for students living closer to an out-of-state college. View list of colleges allowing proximity eligibility in this catalog on page 53, and under Eligibility at Students applying under proximity should confirm their eligibility with the college s admissions office. 3. Eligibility at community colleges Some community colleges allow eligibility for most or all of their programs - in addition to those listed as approved. View list of community colleges in this catalog on page 53 and under Eligibility at Students applying to community colleges should confirm their eligibility with the college s admissions office. RSP tuition rate and savings The RSP or regional tuition rate and savings varies by institution. The RSP tuition rate is typically in-between the in-state and out-of-state tuition rates. The average annual savings for a full-time RSP student is $7,000. NEBHE publishes tuition rates and savings under Data and Reports at How degree programs are approved Degree programs are approved for RSP status on an annual basis. The residents of a particular state become eligible for an RSP program after a review by that state s public colleges and universities determines that a comparable program is not offered in-state. Note: The fact that a program is not offered in-state doesn t guarantee a program will be approved under the RSP. A college or university may decide not to offer certain programs under the RSP. Also, some programs are not offered by any of New England s public colleges. Eligibility for students already enrolled in college Students who wish to change their major to an approved RSP program need to request RSP status by contacting the registrar and/or the college s RSP campus representative (see page 48 in this catalog). If students change their major from an approved RSP program to one not approved, the college or university will begin charging the full out-of-state tuition rate from that point forward. If a college decides to withdraw one of its programs from the RSP, but still offers the program, currently enrolled eligible students are grandfathered and retain their RSP status as long as they continuously pursue the program and required courses. Participating colleges and universities The RSP Tuition Break is only available at New England public colleges and universities. Students are not eligible at private colleges or at any college outside the New England region. Eligibility for financial aid Students eligible for the RSP Tuition Break may also be eligible for financial aid. They need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and any other financial aid applications required by the college(s) in order to be considered for any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans and/or work-study). Financial aid is awarded based on need and/or merit at the discretion of the institution. If a student has been accepted for admission and received a financial aid award prior to declaring an RSP program as his/her intended major, the institution may revise the financial aid award. Note: There is no guarantee that a student s RSP status will provide an additional discount; however, it should not result in a net increase in out-of-pocket expenses. 4 New England Board of Higher Education

58 Regional Student Program Tuition Break Policies 1. Program Authorization The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) was established by the New England Higher Education Compact, a formal interstate agreement among the six states authorized by the United States Congress in NEBHE established the New England Regional Student Program (RSP) in 1957 to fulfill the purposes of the Compact. Through the RSP, the New England states cooperate to share academic programs offered by their public higher education institutions and provide eligible New England residents with a tuition break when they pursue approved programs not offered by their home-state public colleges and universities. 2. Participating Institutions All of New England s public community colleges, state colleges and universities participate in the RSP, because of their state s membership in the Compact. Each institution and/or system has a designated RSP representative. 3. Criteria for RSP Eligibility A. Student Eligibility An RSP student must be a permanent resident of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont and matriculated in an RSP program. Residency policies are determined by the receiving institutions, which also make final decisions in the case of student appeals regarding residency status. A student may be enrolled on a full-time or part-time basis, unless the institution has a different tuition policy for part-time study. B. Program Eligibility B1. Regional Programs of Study a) Regional programs are academic programs that are distinguished by their content, courses and credits. The majority of regional programs are majors, however, in certain cases they may be specialized concentrations or options that approximate majors in their requirements. Regional programs are not offered by any of the participating institutions in an eligible student s home state, but are offered by at least one participating institution in one of the other New England states. NEBHE engages the participating institutions in an annual review to determine eligibility and publishes an annual catalog of approved programs every September. b) In the case of certain RSP programs, students may not be eligible for the RSP tuition discount as freshmen, but may be eligible in upper-class years, as specified by the offering institution. Details are explained in the program footnotes. B2. Additional Programs of Study A student may be RSP-eligible for additional programs as follows. a) Highly specialized graduate programs (in addition to those listed in the RSP catalog) are sometimes available through the RSP by student petition. If a student determines that a specialized program is not available at their home-state public institutions, the student may contact the RSP graduate representative to request RSP eligibility at the out-of-state New England state college or university that offers the program. The student needs to provide statements from the homestate public institutions demonstrating the program s unavailability. Approval of RSP status is at the discretion of the institution. b) Participating institutions may choose to offer certificate and diploma programs, which are not necessarily listed in the RSP catalog. c) The community colleges may choose to make available through the RSP any program of study offered at their institutions. B3. Proximity-Based Programs of Study In certain cases, a student may apply for RSP status at an out-of-state institution that is nearer to their permanent/legal residence (in closer proximity) than a home-state institution offering the same program. There may be restrictions to this eligibility: a) Institutions accepting students may limit eligibility: 1. To commuting students only; 2. To students who reside within a certain distance from the accepting institution; and/or 3. To students enrolling in certain programs (e.g. programs listed in the RSP catalog, under-enrolled programs, etc.). b) A home-state institution offering the same program, or a state system, may restrict the eligibility of their state s residents on this basis to commuting students only. Institutions from adjoining states may negotiate any conflicts in their implementation of this policy. NEBHE will act as arbiter when institutions cannot reach agreement. Institutions must notify NEBHE during the annual RSP review whether and how they plan to accept students on this basis, and whether they plan to restrict the participation of their state s residents to commuting students only. 56 New England Board of Higher Education

59 4. Application Procedure and Notification of Acceptance NEBHE does not require a separate application for RSP eligibility. A student needs to complete the college s admissions application, and list an RSP program as their intended major/program of study (see Policy 3B1). Some college applications may include a specific question regarding the RSP. A student eligible for RSP status is considered on the same basis as other equally qualified applicants. The institution informs the student of their RSP status when accepted to the college. An additional review process may be required for acceptance into certain programs. Note: A student applying to a college or university that allows additional eligibility as described in 3B2 or 3B3, needs to confirm their eligibility with the college. 5. Effect of RSP Status on Financial Aid Award Financial aid is awarded based on need and/or merit at the discretion of the institution. If a student has been accepted for admission and received a financial aid award prior to declaring an RSP program as his/her intended major, the institution may revise the financial aid award. There is no guarantee that a student s RSP status will provide an additional discount; however, it should not result in a net increase in out-of-pocket expenses. 6. Transfer Students Both internal and external transfer students may be accepted into the RSP. In both cases, a student is eligible for RSP status from the first semester of enrollment in the RSP program of study: a) A student may transfer into an RSP program of study from another program at the same institution. An institution may have specific requirements to change to an RSP program. b) A student may transfer into an RSP program of study from another institution. c) If a student transfers from an RSP program of study into one that is not offered through the RSP, the student will be charged the outof-state tuition rate from that point on. 7. Requirement of Progress in the RSP Program An eligible student enrolled in an RSP academic program must make progress in that program by taking the required courses and is monitored accordingly by the college/university. 8. Withdrawal, Limitation or Elimination of RSP-Approved Programs a) An institution must give a two-year advance written notice to NEBHE, during the annual RSP review, in order to withdraw an approved program from RSP eligibility. NEBHE will include the withdrawal notice with the program s listing and delete the program from the RSP catalog effective two years from the notice. RSP students enrolled in a program at the time of its withdrawal retain their RSP status until they complete the program. b) An institution/system may limit or cap the enrollment of RSP students. An institution/system must give a two-year advance written notice to NEBHE, during the annual RSP review, indicating the intent to limit or cap future RSP enrollment at the present level. c) If an institution eliminates a program of study, the institution must notify NEBHE in a timely manner so that program can be deleted from the next RSP catalog. d) If an institution is eliminating a program from the RSP because it is no longer classified as a major, but the course requirements for the program remain the same, the institution may continue to offer it as a concentration under the RSP. If the institution chooses not to continue offering it, students currently enrolled in the program will be grandfathered if they continue to pursue the required courses. 9. RSP Tuition Rate The New England Board of Higher Education sets the RSP tuition rate. Consistent with their tuition policy, participating institutions and/or systems may adopt an RSP rate equal to or lower than the RSP rate set by NEBHE. All RSP students enrolled at the same degree level (undergraduate, graduate) at an institution will be charged the same RSP tuition rate. Institutions must give written notice to NEBHE during the annual RSP review of the intent to implement a new rate in the following academic year.

60 New England Board of Higher Education s New England Regional Student Program (RSP) Participating Colleges and Universities Offer Hundreds of Degree Programs Residents of the six New England states are eligible to pay a lower, regional tuition rate (instead of the regular outof-state tuition rate) when enrolled in associate, bachelor s and graduate degree programs approved under the RSP. Certain colleges allow additional eligibility under the proximity policy when students live closer to an out-of-state college. Some community colleges also allow eligibility for certificate programs and/or for all or most associate degree programs.
