Registration Tuition & Fees General Information Residency The College Admissions Office classifies all applicants as either resident or non-resident. If there is doubt concerning resident status, an applicant is classified as a nonresident. Students classified as nonresidents of the State of Utah are required to pay non-resident tuition. Non-residents who have reason to believe they can qualify for resident status should file a petition with the Admissions Office before registering. The deadline for residency apphcation is the Friday prior to the start of school each quarter. Applications not on file, with all necessary supporting documents, by the deadline, will be considered for residency status for the next quarter. Petition forms are available in the Admissions Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the provisions of Title 53-34-22 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 American Indian 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.
