Residency Policy

BOG Policy 1985-03 requires each university to determine the residential classification of all students.  Section B of the policy reads:

“The universities shall, subject to the provisions of these regulations, determine the residential classification of all students.  Students who are domiciled in Pennsylvania shall be assessed the tuition fee applicable to Pennsylvania residents and all other students shall be assessed the tuition fee applicable to non-residents.”

The policy defines domicile as “the place where one intends to reside permanently or indefinitely and does in fact so reside”.

A student’s residency classification is initially determined by the Admissions Office based on information provided by the student during the admissions process.  A student may appeal that initial determination to the Vice President for Finance and Administration.

The BOG policy also requires students to notify the university when their domicile changes from Pennsylvania to another state.  According to the policy, a university may reclassify a student in the event it believes he or she is no longer a Pennsylvania domiciliary.  The student may challenge such a determination under the procedures provided in this policy.  Involuntary reclassification shall be effective as of the date on which the university determines that the student has changed permanent residences and is no longer a Pennsylvania domiciliary.  Students who change domiciles between semesters or terms shall be reclassified the next semester or term of enrollment.
