Common Pages - Academic Year 2022-2023

2022-2023 (PDF) (Red Line PDF)* Updated 9/14/22

Summary of Changes 

Admission Policy (AR 2.2.1) - The amendment impacts the English proficiency requirements for admission for F-1 visa students only. A clarifying statement was added to allow colleges that do not offer ESL programs the ability to adjust the minimum TOEFL score requirement to ensure students are better prepared for academic courses. The colleges do not use the ASSET or COMPASS tests anymore (AMENDED through the Administrative Regulation Approval Process, May 24, 2022).

Admission Information (AR 2.2.2) - Section 1005 of the new Public Law 116-315: (Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020) removed the requirement for covered individuals to enroll in a course at a public institution of higher learning within three years of being discharged from the military to receive in-state tuition. In addition, the Colonel John M. McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act of 2021 requires that colleges add Chapter 35 Veteran Affairs (VA) educational benefits to qualify for in-state residency. As a result of these changes, most of the language in section 2.2.2 subsection C, number 8 can now be removed. Students using VA educational benefits no longer need to show intent to make Arizona their permanent residence to be granted the in-state tuition rate. The VA policy (Title 38 Section 3679(c)) states that if a student is residing within the state where the institution is located, regardless of whether they meet residency requirements, the student must be billed at the in-state tuition rate (AMENDED through the Administrative Regulation Approval Process, May 24, 2022).

Grading (AR 2.3.3) - Amendments made to the grading regulation, so that staff could consistently answer student’s inquiries about repeating a class and/or improving a grade. 1.

May the class be repeated to improve a grade. 3.The definition of an “attempt” had been added to the AR 2.2.3 Grade policy (AMENDED through the Administrative Regulation Approval Process, May 24, 2022).
