Show Academic Information Non-Resident Regulations—A student classified as non-resident of the State of Utah is required to pay a special non-resident fee. Any non-resident student who has reason to believe he can qualify for resident status must file a petition with the Dean of Admissions & Records before he registers. Petition forms are available in the Office of Dean of Admissions & Records. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the following provisions of Title 53-34-1 of the Utah Code Annotated (Supp. 1863). The meaning of the word "resident" for the purpose 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; (a) No person can acquire a domicile by living in the State of Utah when such person lives in Utah for the purpose of attending or enabling a minor child to attend an institution of higher education. (b) A student whose family residence is not in Utah cannot acquire domicile unless he or she has lived in the state for one year prior to registration in a post-high school educational institution. (c) A student whose family moves to Utah with the intent of taking up permanent residence shall be immediately eligible to register as a Utah resident student. (d) No student shall lose his domicile for educational purposes by the removal of his parents or guardian from the state during the continuous period of his higher education. (e) The domicile of a minor shall be that of his father; in the event of the death of his father, that of his mother; and in the event of death of both parents, that of the last deceased parent unless a guardian has been appointed.
