Legal Residence Status of Students in State University

Quiz

In-state residents at State University pay one-fifth the amount in tuition fees that out-of-state residents are required to pay. This is true because State University is supported by state funds contributed in part by the taxpayers who reside in the state.

The legal residence status of all students is determined at the time of their enrollment in State University and may not be changed unless the circumstances change. For example, a nonresident minor whose parents establish legal residence in the state or a nonresident adult who establishes legal residence in the state and maintains it for twelve months may petition for a change of status.

Personnel attached to military bases in the state are not eligible for legal residence status until they have lived in the state for one year. Foreign nationals who have entered the United States legally and hold green resident alien cards may be eligible for in-state status twelve months after the card has been issued provided that they have documenting evidence that they have lived in the state for twelve consecutive months.

Acceptable evidence includes either a statement from the telephone company indicating that they have had a telephone in their name at the place of residence for one year or a statement from an employer that they have lived and worked in the state for one year. Purchase and ownership of property in the state or tax records indicating payment in the previous year will not be acceptable proof.

Students who have reason to believe that they have been classified incorrectly and are thus paying higher tuition fees may submit their cases in writing for review by the registrar.
