Wouldn't this mean we would regard a US National the same as a US = Citizen? Then, again, maybe I am just being too literal.

I have a student who is a US National (not a US citizen) from American = Samoa. She wants to be classified as a resident for Fall Quarter = because she has lived in WA for over 12 months. Based on my = understanding of residency regulations regarding eligibility for = in-state fees, I am saying she is not eligible to pay resident tuition = because she is not a US citizen. As a result, that puts her in an = ineligible category and she is unable to qualify as a 1/01, or even as a = 2/29 because she is not an immigrant. I've coded her as a ZZ and 2/02.=20 How do you handle US Nationals, with respect to coding for citizenship = and residency/fee paying status? Your answers will be most appreciated!
