Residency Requirements

For tuition purposes, students must indicate their residency status when applying for admission. The appropriate admissions office must determine all questions about legal residency before registration and payment of fees for any semester or session.

It is the student's responsibility to apply for admission and to register under the correct residency status (domicile determination). Domicile is determined as of the first day of the session in which a student is enrolling.

In addition, beginning March 12, 2007 students seeking in-state tuition must complete a one-time Tuition Assessment Form.

Determining Residency Status
Guidelines that are used to determine residency status are taken from the Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 15-1801 through 15-1807. For questions about these guidelines, or for help determining residency status, please contact any campus admissions office.

Students requesting a change to their residency status must submit a Residency Affidavit along with supporting documentation to any campus admissions office.
