MS SB2049

Spouses or children of active duty U.S. Armed Forces members stationed in Mississippi qualify for in-state tuition at Mississippi state universities and community colleges.

Spouses and children who attain Mississippi residency and enroll full-time may maintain in-state tuition status as long as they remain continuously enrolled in good standing, even after the military member is reassigned outside Mississippi.

Exception for spouses enrolling in professional schools, who do not retain in-state status after reassignment.

A student may withdraw for one semester without losing resident status if documented by a physician as having a medical condition requiring withdrawal.

Summer school enrollment is not required to maintain continuous enrollment status.

Effective July 1, 2019.
