RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION

The residence of a dependent student is presumed to be that of his or her parents. Residence is interpreted to mean where the parents are domiciled. Students once classified as out-of-state students will continue to be so classified during their continuous enrollment excluding summer semesters.

Change of residence status for tuition purposes is never automatic. A request for review must be made to the Office of Admissions, and adequate information must be provided by the student to warrant a review of resident status. If the review is negative, a request for exception may be filed with the Office of Academic Affairs and then the Admissions and Credits Committee.

If Tennessee residency is approved, the classification change shall be effective at the next registration after the approval has been granted.
