II.2 Determination of Minnesota Residency Students may establish eligibility for in-state tuition by demonstrating domicile in Minnesota before the beginning of any term.
Students have the burden of proving domicile for the purpose of in-state tuition.
Domicile is the place to which a person intends to return after temporary absences. A person may have only one domicile at a time. Students must have resided in Minnesota for at least one calendar year immediately prior to applying for in-state tuition. Residence in Minnesota must not be merely for the purpose of attending college or university. Any student who has graduated from a Minnesota high school and has resided in Minnesota continuously since graduation shall be granted resident status.
