Residence must have been continuous for 365 days preceding the first day of classes. The applicant must document eligibility. Students who have not been enrolled for one year or longer must reapply for in-state tuition status. Copies of University procedures and the State law are available in the reserve department of the University Library. Due to the complexity of the law, students are advised to avoid making assumptions or to rely on information from persons not directly responsible for administering the policy.
State law prohibits retroactive consideration of domicile.
Students should begin the classification process at least 21 days before the term but in no case can a request be considered after the first day of classes. The supplemental application will be reviewed by the University, and the applicant will be notified of the decision by mail. If this application is denied, the student may appeal the decision through the University's Domicile Appeals Committee. The appeals committee is the final review within the University. The decision of that committee is final.
