SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Norfolk State University and Virginia State University; reduced rate tuition charges for certain students. Permits the Norfolk State University Board of Visitors and the Virginia State University Board of Visitors to charge reduced rate tuition to any non-Virginia student who has completed at least 30 credit hours of coursework and is enrolled in a program at the relevant institution that leads to employment in a high-demand field, as determined by the board of visitors of the relevant institution based on data compiled and provided by the Virginia Office of Education Economics. The bill provides that in the event that a non-Virginia student who was charged reduced rate tuition at the relevant institution in accordance with the provisions of the bill withdraws from the program that leads to employment in a high-demand field and enrolls in a program that does not lead to employment in a high-demand field, such student will forfeit eligibility for such reduced rate tuition charge and shall be charged tuition at the full rate for non-Virginia students. The bill further provides that any non-Virginia student at Norfolk State University or Virginia State University who was initially enrolled in a program that does not lead to employment in a high-demand field but withdraws from that program and enrolls in a program that does lead to employment in a high-demand field may be charged reduced rate tuition in accordance with the provisions of the bill. This bill is identical to SB 1448.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Flexibility in tuition charges for certain non-Virginia students at certain public institutions of higher education. Provides that certain requirements in the general appropriation act relating to the tuition and mandatory fees charged to non-Virginia students enrolled at public institutions of higher education are waived in relation to any non-Virginia undergraduate student who has completed 30 credit hours of coursework and who is enrolled in a data science and technology, science and engineering, health care, or education program at Norfolk State University, Virginia State University, or any public institution of higher education at which the proportion of full-time equivalent undergraduate non-Virginia student enrollment is less than 20 percent.
