What this benefit is

What it's worth: Registration and certain laboratory fees waived

The system describes registration fees and laboratory fees for certain courses, applied under Title 4, Chapter 17 of the Board of Regents Handbook.
No per-credit rate is published alongside the waiver, so no dollar figure is claimed.
The exclusion of the law, medical and dental schools is part of the published description.

Who is entitled to it

The waiver runs to the serving member.
Your home is in Nevada.

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

Deadline: Set by the campus, usually before the term

1Check the programme before the campus. The law school, both medical schools and the dental school are named as ineligible — no form fixes that.
2File the waiver form with the campus office, not with the unit. The System institutions apply the waiver.
3Read "certain courses" literally on the laboratory fees. Registration fees are described broadly; laboratory fees are not.
4Budget for what is left. Books, course-specific charges and anything outside the mandatory fee schedule are not described as waived.
5Confirm active membership each term. The waiver is described for active members of the Guard.

Form: The System fee waiver form for Guard members
File with: The campus office named by your institution
Each term: Claimed per academic term.

CorrectionThe veterans department describes this as a tuition waiver with some fees waived depending on the institution. The System describes it as a waiver of registration and certain laboratory fees, with the professional schools excluded. Plan against the narrower description.

Known gapThe statute has not been read — the Legislature’s own publication refused every connection this session — so no credit-hour cap, duration or residency deeming is claimed here.
