Non-Citizen
Any student not a legal citizen of the United States shall be classified as a Non-Citizen Student. A Non-Citizen Student lawfully present may be classified as a Georgia Student if there is evidence to warrant such classification. In the absence of such classification, a Non-Citizen Student is to be charged a rate of tuition four times the rate of a Georgia Student.
