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 (W&M) reserves the right to make changes in its charges for any and all programs at any time, after approval by the Board of Visitors.

Student Health Insurance Requirement
William & Mary (W&M) requires all full-time undergraduate, graduate and all F-1 and J-1 international students to have adequate health insurance coverage throughout the school year. Full-time students in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs who hold a 20-hour/week VIMS-administered research assistantship may be eligible to apply for a health insurance reimbursement supplement through the Office of Academic Affairs each fall and spring semester. The maximum reimbursement supplement may be equivalent to the cost of the college-endorsed student health insurance premium for a single person. Students with non-W&M policies may receive a reimbursement supplement of the actual amount paid for their insurance, up to the cost of the W&M policy. The reimbursement supplement will be processed through W&M Payroll and is considered taxable income. For additional information, refer to your SMS offer of admission, W&M: Student Services , or the W&M Student Health Insurance webpage.
