- Registration Tuition and Student Fees • General Information Petition forms are available in the Admissions Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the provisions of Title 53-34-2.2 of the Utah Code, excerpts of which are listed below: 1. The meaning of the word "resident" for the purposes of this act shall be determined by reference to the general law on the subject of domicile, except that the following rules shall be observed: 2. An adult who has come to Utah and established residency here for the purpose of attending an institution of higher education must maintain continuous Utah residency status for one full year prior to the beginning of the academic period for which registration as a resident student is sought, and, in each case, must demonstrate by additional objective evidence the establishment of a domicile in Utah and that the student does not maintain a residence elsewhere. 3. Personnel of the United States Armed Forces assigned to active duty in Utah, and the immediate members of their families residing with them in this state shall be entitled to resident status for tuition purposes, provided that the active duty assignment in Utah has not been for the purposes of having the individual assigned attend an institution of higher education. Upon the termination of active duty status, such military personnel and their family members are governed by the standards applicable to non-military persons. 4. Aliens who are present in the United States on visitor, student, or other visas which authorize only temporary presence in this country, do not have the capacity to intend to reside in Utah for an indefinite period and therefore must be classified as nonresidents. Aliens who have been granted immigrant or permanent resident status in the United States must have, in their possession, a green card issued by immigration and shall be classified for purposes of resident status according to the same criteria applicable to citizens. 5. Any Native American who is enrolled on the tribal rolls of a tribe whose reservation or trust lands lie partly or wholly within Utah or whose border is at any point contiguous with the border of Utah or any American Indian who is a member of a federally recognized or known Utah tribe and who has graduated from a high school in Utah, shall be entitled to resident status. 6. A determination by an institution of higher education under this section that a person is a resident shall be honored by other institutions unless the determination was obtained by false pretenses or the facts which existed at the time of the determination have materially changed. Applicants whose credentials indicate out-of-state status are classified as non-residents. All requests for resident classification must be filed with the Admissions Office. Senior Citizen Registration Utah residents age 62 and over are permitted to enroll, on a space available basis, at any of the state's public universities and colleges, on a tuition-free, audit basis. Senior citizens will be required to complete an application for Admission. They will be required to pay a $10 per quarter administrative fee. Where applicable, senior citizens will be charged a fee for use of consumable materials. Senior Citizens must register at the Registration Office on or after the first day of class. Withdrawal Withdrawal from Individual Classes: Students may withdraw from individual classes during the first six weeks (or 60%) of the quarter. Individual classes may not be dropped during the final four weeks (or 40%) of the quarter. (See "Withdrawal from School" below.) No entry will appear on the transcripts of those students who drop individual classes during the first three weeks (or 30%) of the quarter (see "Changes in Registration"). A "W" (Withdrawal) will appear on the records of those students who withdraw from individual classes between the end of third week and the end of the sixth week. Students who stop attending a class without officially withdrawing will receive a "UW" (Unofficial Withdrawal) for that class. The complete policy and procedure for making registration changes and the schedule of deadlines for making them are published each quarter in the class schedule. Withdrawal from School: Students are permitted to completely withdraw from school during any given quarter up to and including the last day of instruction prior to final exam week. Students withdrawing from school must obtain a Withdrawal from School form from the Registration Office and process it according to instructions. The notation "Registered and Withdrew" and the date will appear on the records of those students who completely withdraw from school after paying tuition and fees. Dead Week (Academic Study Week) Academic Study Week (Dead Week) is designated as the five class days preceding the final examination period. This week was designed to provide students with an opportunity to review course information and to synthesize concepts in preparation for the final examination. Instructors are requested to honor dead week by using their lecture periods in assisting students in the synthesizing process. Examinations and assignments should be avoided during Dead Week with the exception of make-up examinations requested by individual students. TUITION AND STUDENT FEES Tuition and student fees are established by the Utah State Board of Regents, and are subject to change without notice. Twelve credit hours per quarter constitute a full load for tuition purposes. Resident or non-resident students enrolled for twelve or more quarter hours will be assessed full tuition. Part-time resident or non-resident students (those enrolled for less than twelve credit hours) are assessed tuition on a per credit hour basis proportionate to the tuition paid by full-time students.
