Students classified as non-residents for tuition purposes who believe they are entitled to be reclassified as legal residents must petition the director of admissions for a change in status. The petition must be filed no later than 60 days after the semester begins in order for students to be considered for reclassification for that semester. If the petition is granted, reclassification will not be retroactive to prior semesters. Information about necessary documentation to support a petition for reclassification is available in the Admissions Office. A resident of campus housing must be enrolled full-time at Columbus State University.
