|
Residency Classification for Admission and Fee Purposes |
Students shall be classified as a resident or nonresident for admission, tuition and fee purposes by the Registrar’s Office. In determining residency classification, the issue is essentially one of domicile. In general, the domicile of a personal is that person’s true, fixed, permanent home and place of habitation. The decision shall be based upon information furnished by the student and all other relevant information. The Registrar’s Office is authorized to require such written documents, affidavits, verifications, or other evidence as are deemed necessary to establish this domicile of a student. The burden of establishing residency for admission, tuition and fee purposes is upon the student. If there is a question as to residency, the matter must be brought to the attention of the Certification Analyst in the Registrar’s Office at least two weeks prior to the deadline for the payment of tuition and fees. Students must complete the attached form in its entirety. The documentation requested but be submitted with the completed application. Applications without documentation will be denied. |
