Program Details:
The Good Neighbor Waiver program is an exchange program for undergraduate students. It allows students to pay 150% of resident tuition. Students must meet the eligibility requirements to be considered, and may have to apply if you have been accepted to Utah Tech before.
Why is the Good Neighbor Waiver a good deal? The Utah Legislature recognized the need for students living just over the Utah border, to have an affordable higher education option. In 2013 they revised House Bill 364, to allow Utah Tech to charge a reduced rate (similar to the Western Undergraduate Exchange or WUE program) specific to students in 4 counties in close geographic proximity to St. George Utah.
The program is set for a maximum of 8 semesters. Transfer awards will vary depending on the number of transfer credits already accumulated.
Time the student is enrolled in the Good Neighbor Waiver program will NOT count towards requirements for resident status for tuition purposes.
Participants in the Good Neighbor Waiver program must do the following to remain eligible:
- Complete no less than 6 credits per semester.
- Maintain a 2.0 semester grade point average.
- Have not accepted any other Utah Tech scholarship in the form of tuition waiver or tuition reduction (private cash awards or scholarships are acceptable).
