Limitations for Missouri residents studying in Kansas:

The combined total number of nonresident tuition waivers allowed at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University shall be no more than 491 in the architecture programs. The number of waivers for architecture students shall be divided between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, as determined by the Kansas Board of Regents, to ensure an equitable distribution of the total number of waivers between both institutions. The University of Kansas is allowed a maximum of 229 nonresident tuition waivers each semester for the architecture and architectural engineering programs listed above.

Continuing students who previously held a reciprocal nonresident tuition waiver have first priority each semester provided their academic performance meets the standards of the student's school. All other students, including newly admitted students, will be assigned the remaining waivers from a rank-ordered list based on established and accepted standards of academic performance and preparation. Upon admission to one of the approved programs, new students are placed on the rank-ordered list and will be notified on an individual basis by the school.

Kansas residents studying in Missouri should contact the UMKC School of Dentistry or the College of Optometry at the University of Missouri-St Louis for specific program details.
