you take day, evening, or online courses and your state of residency.

- Effective July 1, 2023, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts created a new, additional
pathway and expanded access to the in-state tuition rate, as well as to state financial
aid (See Section II below) by allowing all students, including some non-U.S. citizens,
who have attended high school in the Commonwealth for at least three years, earned
a diploma or the equivalent (a GED/HiSet) in the Commonwealth, and have met other
documentation requirements (listed below) to be eligible to pay the in-state tuition
rate at public institutions of higher education. M.G.L. c. 15A, section 9, as amended
by Section 11 of Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023 (hereinafter the "High School Completers"
Tuition Equity Law). While any individual may seek to be classified with "High School
Completer" status under the Tuition Equity Law, in effect the Tuition Equity law has
expanded access to in-state tuition rates to undocumented students, subject to the
eligibility criteria and implementation procedures set forth below. Information regarding
this law and its implementation will be provide and updated at .

class-size requirements, but the course is not full. Space available registration

dates and fee amounts are announced in the semester registration schedule.
Seniors can choose to take courses either for credit or on an audit basis. For more
info, see Workforce and Community Education.

Auditing Courses
A student who audits a course registers for the course but does not intend to receive
credit for the course. Attendance requirements for audit students should conform with
the instructor's policy for the class as a whole, unless other arrangements are made
between the auditing student and the teacher.
- Students who audit a course are normally not required to complete work assignments,
take tests, or fulfill laboratory requirements. However, the auditing students may
request to be allowed to participate in such activities.
- Some courses may not be appropriate for auditing. Students who wish an audited course
to appear on their transcript as an audit must register for the course, indicating
"Audit" on the registration form.
- Students who wish to change from audit to credit must complete a request form available
from the Registrar's Office. The same is true for students wishing to change from
credit to audit. These changes must be done before, and no later than, the mid-term
grade date.
- Financial Aid cannot be used to pay for audited courses. A student who has previously
received financial aid for a course being changed from credit to audit may be liable
to repay a portion of the aid received.
*Please note that the cost for auditing a course is the same as taking it for credit,
and financial aid cannot be used to pay for an audited class. If you change a course
from credit to audit and you're receiving financial aid, you may be responsible for
repaying a portion of the aid received.
**Tuition, fees and refund policies may change without notice.
