How to Use Catalog
The 2013-14 RSP Tuition Break Catalog is a comprehensive guide
to the New England Board of Higher Education’s Tuition Break, the
New England Regional Student Program (RSP). A regional catalog,
it explains eligibility for all six New England states.
Examples of Undergraduate Majors:
Biomedical Engineering (bachelor’s)................ME, MA, NH, VT
UCONN, URI
Wind Power Technology (associate)............CT, MA, NH, RI, VT
NMCC
Start by reading basic information about the Tuition Break on page
2 and the Frequently Asked Questions on page 3.
To determine which majors residents of a state may study with the
Tuition Break:
Go to the degree section in this catalog. The majors are organized
by program category (such as Business, Engineering). Check to see
which states are listed next to a major, as in following examples.
Visit www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak, and select “Find a Program to
view and download resident-state-specific brochures or to search
the program database.
Code(s) = College(s)
offering major with the
Tuition Break. College
codes are explained on
page 38.
If a state college/university
is not listed (even though
it has the major), it means
the college chooses not to
offer the major with the
Tuition Break.
States = Residents
eligible for Tuition Break.
If a state is not listed,
residents of that state
are not eligible, because
a home-state public
college or university
offers the program.

Regional Student Program Tuition Break 2013-14 Undergraduate Catalog 1
New England Board of Higher Education’s RSP Tuition Break
for New England Residents
T
he New England Board of Higher Education’s Tuition
Break program, the New England Regional Student
Program (RSP), provides a discount on tuition to New
England residents when they enroll in approved degree programs at
out-of-state public colleges and universities in Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. New
England’s 80 public colleges and universities participate in the RSP
Tuition Break program.
Information on approved degree programs is available at
www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak under “Find a Program.”
The 2013-14 annual undergraduate catalog is a comprehensive
list of the 450+ undergraduate degree programs offered through
NEBHE’s Tuition Break program and explains eligibility for
residents of all six New England states.
Residents of a particular New England state are eligible for an
approved major at one or more specific out-of-state New England
public colleges or universities – when that program is not offered by
any home-state public institution. Students apply for RSP status on
the institution’s application form; no separate application is required
by NEBHE. The institution notifies applicants who are accepted for
admission whether they have been granted RSP status.
The approved majors do not necessarily include every program for
which residents might expect to be RSP eligible. Some programs
have special requirements and/or are not available to freshman
students (explained in program footnotes). Also, participating
colleges and universities may decide against offering certain
programs, such as those which are highly competitive.
Shared Resources
The RSP enables the six New England states to expand educational
opportunities for their residents, while avoiding duplication of
costly academic programs. Since it was established by NEBHE in
1957, the RSP has provided New England residents with savings
on more than 250,000 annual tuition bills. The RSP has at the
same time helped individual New England states avoid spending
billions of dollars in capital and operating expenditures for academic
programs already offered in other New England states.

Significant Discount
In academic year 2011-12, over 9,000 New England students were
enrolled through the RSP Tuition Break and saved $53 million on
their annual tuition bills. Participating students enrolled on a fulltime basis each saved an average of $6,900 on their 2011-12 annual
tuition bills.
The RSP tuition rate reflects a significant break on an institution’s
out-of-state tuition rate. Public colleges and universities charge
out-of-state tuition to students who permanently reside in other
states and in-state tuition to students who permanently reside in
the state where the college or university is located. Tuition rates for
all participating colleges and universities are posted on the NEBHE
website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Regional Student Program (RSP)
Tuition Break for New England only?
Yes. The program is only for permanent residents of the six
New England states–Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont–who attend
out-of-state public colleges and universities in New England.
How does a student qualify for the RSP?
As a permanent resident of a New England state, a student is eligible
for the RSP when enrolled in an approved degree program offered
by a specific public college or university in another New England
state. Information on approved majors (associate, bachelor’s and
graduate) is available under “Find a Program” at www.nebhe.org/
tuitionbreak. Note: The approved associate and bachelor’s degree
programs are also listed in this catalog.
At certain colleges, students may also qualify when the out-of-state
college is closer to home than the in-state college(s) offering the
same program. The colleges allowing “proximity” eligibility are on
page 37 of this catalog, and available at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak
under “Eligibility.”
How does a student apply for the RSP?
A student completes the college’s application for admission and
declares an approved major offered through the RSP by that college.
Some college applications include a box to check for “New England
Regional” or “RSP.” Otherwise, a student should indicate “Applying
for Regional Student Program (RSP) status.” NEBHE does not
require a separate application.
The college notifies a student of RSP status usually at the time
of acceptance to the college. Note: Some programs have special
requirements and/or are not available to freshman students (see
footnotes to programs).
How much of a discount is the RSP?
The average annual tuition savings per full-time RSP student is
currently $6,900. The RSP allows an eligible student to pay a regional
rate, which is significantly less than out-of-state tuition. The rate is
based on a percentage (up to 175 percent) of a college’s in-state rate.
Current rates are available at www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak under
“Data and Reports.”
Can a student already enrolled at a college
declare an RSP major at that college?
How are degree programs approved for RSP
status?
Undergraduate and graduate majors are approved for RSP status on
an annual basis. The residents of a particular state become eligible
for an RSP major after a review by that state’s public colleges and
universities determines that a comparable major or concentration is
not offered in-state.
Why are certain programs, which aren’t offered
in a student’s home state, not offered under the
RSP?
Sometimes a college or university decides not to offer certain
majors, such as high-demand programs, under the RSP. Also, a few
programs are not offered by any New England public college or
university (Examples: Aerospace Engineering, Physician Assistant,
Professional Golf Management).
What happens if a student changes from an
approved RSP major to one not approved?
A student will be charged the full out-of-state tuition rate from that
point forward.
What happens if a college decides to discontinue
offering a major through the RSP?
If a college withdraws a major from the RSP, but still offers the major,
students currently enrolled through the RSP are grandfathered.
Can the RSP be used to attend a private college
or a college outside New England?
No. The RSP is only available at New England public colleges and
universities.
Is an RSP-eligible student eligible to apply for
financial aid?
Yes. A student should complete the FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid) available at www.fafsa.ed.gov and any other
financial aid applications required by the college(s) in order to be
considered for any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans
and/or work-study). For general financial aid information, visit
www.studentaid.ed.gov and www.finaid.org.
Usually. An enrolled student needs to contact the registrar and/or
the college’s RSP campus representative, listed on page 34 of this
catalog.

The colleges and universities allowing Proximity eligibility are listed below. Contact individual colleges directly regarding their specific

Regional Student Program Tuition Break 2013-14 Undergraduate Catalog 39
Regional Student Program Tuition Break Policies
1. Program Authorization
The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) was
established by the New England Higher Education Compact, a
formal interstate agreement among the six states authorized by
the United States Congress in 1954. NEBHE established the New
England Regional Student Program (RSP) in 1957 to fulfill the
purposes of the Compact. Through the RSP, the New England states
cooperate to share academic programs offered by their public higher
education institutions and provide eligible New England residents
with a tuition break when they pursue approved programs not
offered by their home-state public colleges and universities.
2. Participating Institutions
All of New England’s public community colleges, state colleges
and universities participate in the RSP, because of their state’s
membership in the Compact. Each institution and/or system has a
designated RSP representative.
3. Criteria for RSP Eligibility
A. Student Eligibility
An RSP student must be a permanent resident of
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island or Vermont and matriculated in an RSP
program. A student may be enrolled on a full-time or parttime basis, unless the institution has a different tuition
policy for part-time study.
B. Program Eligibility
B1. Regional Programs of Study
a) Regional programs are academic programs that
are distinguished by their content, courses and
credits. The majority of regional programs are majors,
however, in certain cases they may be specialized
concentrations or options that approximate majors in
their requirements. Regional programs are not offered
by any of the participating institutions in an eligible
student’s home state, but are offered by at least one
participating institution in one of the other New
England states. NEBHE engages the participating
institutions in an annual review to determine
eligibility and publishes an annual catalog of approved
programs by early September.
b) In the case of certain RSP programs, students
may not be eligible for the RSP tuition discount as
freshmen, but may be eligible in upper-class years,
as specified by the offering institution. Details are
explained in the programs’ footnotes.
40
B2. Additional Programs of Study
A student may be RSP-eligible for additional programs as
follows.
a) Highly specialized graduate programs (in addition
to those listed in the RSP catalog) are sometimes
available through the RSP by student petition. If a
student determines that a specialized program is not
available at his/her home-state public institutions, the
student may contact the RSP graduate representative
to request RSP eligibility at the out-of-state New
England state college or university that offers the
program. The student needs to provide statements
from the home-state public institutions demonstrating
the program’s unavailability. Approval of RSP status is
at the discretion of the institution.
b) Participating institutions may choose to offer
certificate and diploma programs, which are not
necessarily listed in the RSP catalog.
c) The community colleges may choose to make
available through the RSP any program of study
offered at their institutions.
B3. Proximity-Based Programs of Study
In certain cases, a student may apply for RSP status at an
out-of-state institution that is nearer to his/her permanent/
legal residence (in closer proximity) than a home-state
institution offering the same program.
There may be restrictions to this eligibility:
a) Institutions accepting students may limit eligibility:
1. To commuting students only;
2. To students who reside within a certain
distance from the accepting institution; and/or
3. To students enrolling in certain programs
(e.g. programs listed in the RSP catalog, underenrolled programs, etc.).
b) A home-state institution offering the same
program, or a state system, may restrict the eligibility
of their state’s residents on this basis to commuting
students only.
Institutions from adjoining states may negotiate
any conflicts in their implementation of this policy.
NEBHE will act as arbiter when institutions cannot
reach agreement.
Institutions must notify NEBHE during the annual
RSP review whether and how they plan to accept
students on this basis, and whether they plan to
restrict the participation of their state’s residents to
commuting students only.
New England Board of Higher Education www.nebhe.org/tuitionbreak
4. Application Procedure and Notification of Acceptance
NEBHE does not require a separate application for RSP eligibility.
A student needs to complete the college’s admissions application,
indicate that he/she is applying for RSP status, and list an RSP
program as his/her intended major/program of study (see Policy
3B1). Some college applications include a specific question
regarding the RSP.
A student eligible for RSP status is considered on the same basis
as other equally qualified applicants. The institution informs the
student of his/her RSP status when accepted to the college. An
additional review process may be required for acceptance into
certain programs.
5. Effect of RSP Status on Financial Aid Award
Financial aid is awarded based on need and/or merit at the
discretion of the institution. If a student has been accepted for
admission and received a financial aid award prior to declaring an
RSP program as his/her intended major, the institution may revise
the financial aid award. There is no guarantee that a student’s RSP
status will provide an additional discount; however, it should not
result in a net increase in out-of-pocket expenses.
6. Transfer Students
Both internal and external transfer students may be accepted into
the RSP. In both cases, a student is eligible for RSP status from the
first semester of enrollment in the RSP program of study:
a) A student may transfer into an RSP program of study from
another program at the same institution. An institution may
have specific requirements to change to an RSP program.
b) A student may transfer into an RSP program of study from
another institution.
c) If a student transfers from an RSP program of study into one
that is not offered through the RSP, the student will be charged
the out-of-state tuition rate from that point on.
8. Withdrawal, Limitation or Elimination of RSP-Approved
Programs
a) An institution must give a two-year advance written
notice to NEBHE, during the annual RSP review, in order to
withdraw an approved program from RSP eligibility. NEBHE
will include the withdrawal notice with the program’s listing
and delete the program from the RSP catalog effective two
years from the notice. RSP students enrolled in a program at
the time of its withdrawal retain their RSP status until they
complete the program.
b) An institution/system may limit or cap the enrollment
of RSP students. An institution/system must give a twoyear advance written notice to NEBHE, during the annual
RSP review, indicating the intent to limit or cap future RSP
enrollment at the present level.
c) If an institution eliminates a program of study, the
institution must notify NEBHE in a timely manner so that
program can be deleted from the next RSP catalog.
d) If an institution is eliminating a program from the RSP
because it is no longer classified as a major, but the course
requirements for the program remain the same, the institution
may continue to offer it as a concentration under the RSP. If
the institution chooses not to continue offering it, students
currently enrolled in the program will be grandfathered if they
continue to pursue the required courses.
9. RSP Tuition Rate
The New England Board of Higher Education sets the RSP tuition
rate. Consistent with their tuition policy, participating institutions
and/or systems may adopt an RSP rate equal to or lower than the
RSP rate set by NEBHE. All RSP students enrolled at the same
degree level (undergraduate, graduate) at an institution will be
charged the same RSP tuition rate. Institutions must give written
notice to NEBHE during the annual RSP review of the intent to
implement a new rate in the following academic year.
7. Requirement of Progress in the RSP Program
An eligible student enrolled in an RSP academic program must
make progress in that program by taking the required courses and is
monitored accordingly by the college/university.

New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE)
NEBHE is a nonprofit, congressionally authorized, interstate agency whose mission is to foster cooperation and the efficient use of resources
among New England’s approximately 280 colleges and universities. NEBHE was created by the New England Higher Education
Compact, a 1955 agreement among the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
NEBHE is funded by the six New England states.
NEBHE established the New England Regional Student Program (RSP) in 1957-58. Since its inception, the RSP has provided New England residents with savings on more than 250,000 annual tuition bills. The RSP has at the same time helped individual New England states
avoid spending billions of dollars in capital and operating expenditures for academic programs already offered elsewhere in the region.
