1. A student desiring a change in resident classification must submit a residency application to the Admissions Office and is required to file all supporting documentation necessary to provide a basis for in-state classification. A change in residency classification beyond the 3rd week of a given semester will not take effect until the next term. Residency changes are not retroactive.
   
   
2. Each person who applies for Utah resident status is considered on an individual basis. A student who is denied Utah resident status may request an interview with the Residency Appeals Officer.
   
   
3. Any student found to have made a false or misleading statement concerning domicile or tuition status is subject to dismissal from the University.
   
   
4. A person who applies for status as a resident of Utah for tuition purposes will be considered for such status according to the Rules and Regulations of the Utah State Board of Regents. Mere presence in the state is not sufficient for establishing residency. This presence must be coupled with clear and convincing evidence that a person has established a domicile in the state beyond the circumstance of being a student. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen or have Permanet Resident status.
