Military Waiver

What is the “Military Rate/Military Waiver”? Who is eligible, and how do I qualify?
The College of Liberal Studies offers a military waiver to all non-resident students who are affiliated with the military or the Department of Defense (DOD).

Please see our Tuition and Fees page for current rates with the military waiver:

All non-resident students desiring military waivers must submit separate evidence of military affiliation to the College of Liberal Studies. Non-resident active duty servicemembers using TA will automatically be given the military waiver upon processing of the TA form submitted to the College of Liberal Studies, and do not need to submit separate documentation.

Members of the armed forces who are stationed in the state of Oklahoma when they apply for admission and provide evidence that they are a full-time active duty member in the armed forces shall be immediately classified upon admission as in-state status along with their spouse and dependent children. Further, when members of the armed services are transferred out-of-state, the members, their spouses and dependent children shall continue to be classified as in-state as long as they remain continuously enrolled.

Former full-time active military personnel who remain in Oklahoma after their service may retain their in-state status without the 12-month requirement if they establish domicile as defined in this policy.

This documentation will be good for three consecutive semesters. It will then need to be renewed in order for you to continue to receive the military waiver.

Please send this documentation to Sheila Gibson (sgibson@ou.edu or Fax: (405) 325-9032).

When will my military waiver be processed?
All military waivers and tuition assistance are processed after the free-drop period for each session to ensure schedule accuracy. You may receive a bill for your total cost of tuition and fees from the Office of the Bursar before we are able to process your forms. This is common and not a cause for alarm — we will apply all billing, waivers and TA as soon as possible each semester.
