Metropolitan Tuition Policy (MTP)

Rhode Island College students whose permanent place of residence is a community within a 50-mile radius of Providence are eligible for in-state tuition rates plus 50 percent. The Metropolitan Tuition Policy includes both full-time and part-time students, undergraduate and graduate students, and degree and non-degree students. Connecticut and Massachusetts communities (and one NY community) within the 50-mile radius are listed online at www.ric.edu/bursar/tuition_metro.php.

Forms for verification of residence for this purpose are available in the Records Office and must be submitted for approval prior to the close of registration.
