The residence status of a student is determined by the Office of Admissions in accordance with University regulations and is based on evidence provided on the application for admission and related documents.
Regulations relate primarily to the location of the home and the place of employment.
A resident student is defined as one who has been domiciled in Louisiana continuously for at least one full year immediately preceding the first day of classes of the term for which residence classification is sought. Since a student normally comes to UNO to attend the University rather than to establish domicile in Louisiana, an individual who enrolls in the University as a nonresident shall continue to be so classified throughout attendance as a student, unless it is demonstrated that the previous domic ile has been abandoned and a Louisiana domicile established. An international student on a student visa is classified as a nonresident. Residence status is not determined for students auditing only. Further information concerning residence classification may be obtained from the Office of Admissions .
