§ 23-1-112 — Tuition - reciprocal agreements

Except as provided in section 23-1-108 (10), the commission shall identify those circumstances where the waiving of
the nonresident differential in tuition rates, on a reciprocal basis with other states,
would enhance educational opportunities for Colorado residents. Relative to such
identified circumstances, the commission shall negotiate with the other states
involved with the objective of establishing reciprocal agreements for the waiving of
the nonresidential differential for Colorado residents attending state institutions of
higher education in other states in exchange for Colorado state institutions of
higher education waiving the nonresident differential for residents of the other
states. Agreements negotiated between Colorado and other states shall provide for
an equal number of resident and nonresident students to be exchanged between
the states. Upon successful completion of such negotiations, the commission may
identify the numbers of Colorado residents by grade level whose educational
opportunities would be enhanced and the numbers of nonresident students by
grade level for whom the nonresident differential is to be waived by the Colorado
state institutions of higher education and may direct that the state institutions of
higher education grant such waivers. The commission shall establish regulations for
the administration of this section, based on the application of the closest college
concept, and for the reporting to the general assembly of the numbers of students
to whom the waivers are given.
