The Office of Residency Classification assists graduate and continuing undergraduate students with application for entitlement to pay in-state rates on tuition and fees. Entering freshmen should contact the Admissions Office regarding residency status.

Application for Resident Status--Any student or prospective student, whose status concerning entitlement to payment of in-state tuition and fees is uncertain, has the responsibility of securing a ruling from the University. The process requires students and their families to provide all relevant information on special application forms. Additionally, documentation supporting the information provided in response to the questionnaire is routinely required.

Undergraduate students must submit a complete application. A complete application consists of a Student Form and a Parental/Spouse/Guardian Form, as well as supporting documentation. These forms may printed from this web site or can be obtained from the Office of Residency Classification located in G01 Sikes Hall - (864) 656-2282. The petition deadline is the day prior to the first day of classes for the semester you are seeking in-state status.

Incomplete applications will not be reviewed
