The proportional percentage of out-of-state tuition waived shall be used when determining the number of 豁免s in effect such that a full 豁免 of out-of-state tuition counts as one 豁免, while a 50% 豁免 of out-of-state tuition counts as a .5豁免. 学生可能有资格 under one or more Presidential Waiver categories but shall only be granted a 豁免 under one specific category and will be counted within that category.
