Domicile
A student domiciled in Virginia is eligible for in-state tuition rates. To obtain the in-state rates, students must either complete the residency portion of the online application when they apply for admission to the SMS, or complete and submit the Application for Virginia In-State Tuition Privileges form by the first day of classes of the semester for which in-state eligibility is sought. For more information on establishing domicile, refer to the catalog section Eligibility for In-State Tuition Rate . All questions about eligibility for domiciliary status should be addressed to the Office of the University Registrar, (757) 221-2808.
A full-time, degree-seeking graduate student of the School of Marine Science may be eligible for a waiver of the out-of-state (non-resident) tuition rate to the in-state (resident) rate, but out-of-state domicile status is not changed.
Graduate Tuition
William & Mary reserves the right to make changes in its charges for any and all programs at any time, after approval by the Board of Visitors.
