If you are coded as Non-resident, you must apply for residency to change your status to Resident. If you are currently coded as a Resident, you will remain a resident as long as you are continuously enrolled. Your residency will be re-assessed when you apply for Graduate or Professional school.
WUE or Cougar Award recipients
Financially Independent students receiving the WUE/Cougar Award or the WUE/Cougar Award for Transfers may not use the time they were receiving the WUE towards establishing residency as a financially independent student. More information about Financial Independence & Presumption.
Residency Quizzes
The Residency Quizzes are an easy way to see if you're eligible for resident tuition. We do not track your responses, so you can try different scenarios and use it for planning, too. If you have a VISA, you can see if your VISA is eligible for resident tuition. The Residency Quizzes
Residency Review Request
If you believe that your residency is incorrectly determined or that there is an error, complete a Residency Review Request. This process is NOT an application for residency; most students will need to complete a residency application.
