Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes

Welcome to the University of Arizona! In Arizona, as in all other states, instruction fees at publicly supported universities are lower for resident students than for non-resident students. Residency classification standards and procedures at The University of Arizona are based on the Arizona Board of Regents Policy on Tuition Classification. Each student must be classified as either a resident student or a non-resident student for tuition purposes. A student who is not classified as a resident student is charged non-resident tuition in addition to other registration fees and charges. It is the responsibility of each student to provide the information necessary to obtain a correct residency classification and raise the issue of a disputed classification in a timely manner.

Follow the links below for information about the University of Arizona’s residency policies and procedures.
