Summary for Classification of Students for Tuition Purposes
UA Procedures for Establishing Residency Status:
Each student is responsible
for obtaining tuition classification determination prior to registration and fee payment.
This procedure requires each student to complete and file a domicile affidavit
form with the Residency
Classification Office. This form is required of all new
students and returning students who are readmitted after an absence of
one or more semesters. A student seeking resident status may be required to file
supporting documentation necessary to provide a basis for resident classification
(driver's license, employment history, voter's registration, physical presence, etc.).
You may request a form directly from the Residency
Classification Office, or print the domicile
affidavit
form (pdf) in .pdf format.
Change in Resident Status:
A student desiring a change
in classification must complete and file a Petition to Change Residency classification
form, available from the Residency
Classification Office, and
is required to file all supporting documentation necessary to provide a basis for resident
classification (see section III, paragraph D,
of the ABOR Classification of Students for Tuition
Purposes).
Filing a Request for Review:
A student who believes that
he or she was incorrectly classified as a non-resident by a Classification Officer may
file a written request for review with the Residency
Classification Office no later than
35 days from the last day of registration. The signed request should include the student's
current address and telephone number and the reasons why the student claims the
classification determination is incorrect. Failure to file a timely written request
constitutes a waiver of the student's right to request a hearing before a review
committee.
Appealing a Decision:
Upon appeal, the Review
Committee is responsible to render a decision in accordance with Arizona State Statutes
and Board of Regents Policy. The student may be represented at the hearing by an
advisor at the student's expense.
Written notice of the final
decision of the Review Committee shall be sent to the student at his or her most recent
address filed with the University. If the student is found to have been incorrectly
classified as a non-resident, the University will refund the tuition collected as a
non-resident. If the Review Committee determines that the student remain as a
non-resident, the notice will advise the student that no further University procedures are
available and the time to take any legal action may be short.
