Dependent students acquire the resident status of their parents .
If this relation meets the Basic Definition of Resident Status , dependent students will similarly be classified as Oklahoma residents for tuition purposes. Spouses and Common Households Marital status and common household relationships may support an application for resident status, but do not in and of themselves meet the Basic Definition for Resident Status . Immigrants Students who are not United States citizens but hold permanent resident status in the United States or have a refugee visa or political asylum visa status, may be considered for resident status assuming they meet the Basic Definition of Resident Status . The visa statuses previously mentioned do not automatically grant resident status for tuition purposes. They are, however, entitled to a non-resident tuition waiver, providing a statement of military status in Oklahoma is provided to the Office of the Bursar each semester before or at the time of fee payment.
