Determination of In-State Status
An initial determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge differential purposes will be made by the university at the time a student’s application for admission is under consideration. The determination made at that time, and any determination made thereafter, shall prevail in each semester until the determination is successfully challenged. Students classified as in-state for admission, tuition and charge differential purposes are responsible for notifying the Office of the Registrar, in writing, within 15 days of any change in their circumstances that might in any way affect their classification at the university.
The determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge-differential purposes is the responsibility of the campus Office of the Registrar. A student may request a reevaluation of this status by filing a petition. The university’s policy is available through the Office of the Registrar.
