This policy is consistent with Tennessee Board of Regents Guideline S-010

Purpose

On March 3, 1978, the State Board of Regents approved the recommendations contained in the staff report entitled “A Report on Out-Of-State Enrollments” dated February 15, 1978. Pursuant to those approved recommendations, the following guideline is adopted for the institutions in the State Board of Regents System.

Policy/Guideline

  1. Nonresident Enrollments
    1. All institutions should attempt to maintain a maximum limitation on the number of nonresident students, including foreign students, of fifteen percent (15%) to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of students enrolled at the institution or any unit of the institution.

Note: The guideline initially allowed a maximum 33.1% nonresident enrollment at TSU until 1980, at which time it became subject to the 15% to 20% maximum.
