What happens as my Expiration Term of Service (ETS) date approaches?

If your ETS date is approaching, here's what you need to know:

Staying in the Military?

  • Submit updated documentation by the end of the term your ETS date expires. 
  • We'll update your student record with the new ETS date.
  • No change to your tuition rate.

Separating from the Military?

  • You may qualify for in-state tuition
  • Submit documentation by the end of the term your ETS date expires to qualify.
  • If approved, your tuition rate will change to in-state for the next term.
  • If you miss the deadline, your rate will change to out-of-state, but we can update it to in-state in the next available term once we receive your documentation.
  • If you qualify for in-state tuition, you'll receive the in-state rate; otherwise, the out-of-state rate applies.
