Save with eRate tuition.
If you are a non-resident of Tennessee and enrolled in online courses only you may be eligible for eRate tuition fees instead of the traditional out-of-state fees.
Meet the eRate requirements.
Be enrolled at a Tennessee Board of Regents institution, be classified as a non-resident of Tennessee, and be enrolled exclusively in online courses.
Meet all the admissions requirements of Nashville State Community College.
Be verified as an online out-of-state student enrolled exclusively in courses delivered online.
You are not eligible for eRate if you are enrolled in any course other than online (such as on-campus) and will instead incur traditional non-resident fees and charges. Understand that you are financially responsible for payment of these non-resident fees and charges.
If you are enrolled in both online and other type of courses, and decide to drop the other type of courses, you will NOT then become eligible for the eRate.
