Guidelines for Qualifying for In-State Tuition
You may qualify for in-state tuition in any of the following three ways:
1.
Residence. By demonstrating that you are a permanent legal resident of the State of Michigan as defined by these
Guidelines (see Part I below);
2.
Attendance. By demonstrating that you attended an accredited Michigan high school and accredited Michigan middle or
junior high school (see Part II below); OR
3.
Service. By demonstrating that you or a family member are serving or have served in the U.S. military or Public Health
Service (see Part III below).
You may meet the criteria under more than one Part of these Guidelines. However, if you meet the criteria under one of the three
Parts, you are not required to determine eligibility under the other two.
A.
I. Establishing Eligibility Through Michigan Residence
You may qualify for in-state tuition by demonstrating that you are a Michigan resident.
1.
A. General Principles
The University of Michigan has autonomous, constitutional authority to establish residency guidelines that apply to the
University. The University’s residency guidelines are independent of other state rules or regulations governing residency for
other purposes, including income and property tax liability or eligibility to vote or drive.
To qualify for in-state tuition at the University of Michigan on the basis of being a Michigan resident, you must establish that
Michigan is your permanent legal residence. In other words, you must establish that the State of Michigan is your home and that
you intend to remain in the State permanently. This will depend on, among other things, where you live, work, and attend school;
where you have lived, worked, and attended school; where your parents or guardians live; and other evidence that you intend to
make Michigan your permanent home.
The Board of Regents of the University of Michigan has charged the Residency Classification Office in the Office of the
Registrar on the Ann Arbor campus with determining the residency of current and prospective students for all three University of
Michigan campuses. If you are seeking in-state tuition on the basis of residence in the State of Michigan and your application,
activities, and circumstances demonstrate that Michigan is your permanent legal residence, you will be classified as a resident. If,
however, you seek in-state tuition on the basis of residence but your presence in the State is based on activities or circumstances
that are determined to be temporary or indeterminate, you will be classified as a nonresident.
17
2.
1.
B. Process for Establishing Residency
Who Must Submit an Application for Resident Classification?
If you seek to qualify for in-state tuition as a Michigan resident and your application, circumstances, or activities suggest
that you may have out-of-state activities or ties (as described below), you will be required to apply to be evaluated and
classified as a resident or nonresident. This means completing an Application for Resident Classification truthfully and
timely and submitting additional documentation.
Specifically, you must file an Application for Resident Classification if you seek in-state tuition on the basis of Michigan
residence and have any of the following out-of-state activities or ties:

you live outside the State of Michigan for any purpose, including, but not limited to, education, volunteer activities,
travel, or employment;

you attended or graduated from a college outside the State of Michigan;

you lived or worked outside the State of Michigan at any time within the last three years;

you are not a U.S. citizen;

your spouse, partner, or parent is in Michigan as a nonresident student, medical resident, fellow or for military
assignment or other temporary employment;

you are 24 years of age or younger and a parent lives outside the State of Michigan;

you are 24 years of age or younger and attended or graduated from a high school outside the state of Michigan;

you attended or graduated from an out-of-state high school and have been involved in educational pursuits for the
majority of time since high school graduation;

you attended any University of Michigan campus (Ann Arbor, Dearborn, or Flint) as a nonresident.
Other circumstances also may require you to file an Application for Resident Classification.
If Michigan is in fact your permanent legal residence, as demonstrated by your admissions application, activities, and
circumstances, you have none of the out-of-state activities or ties listed above, and your admissions application truthfully
asserts that Michigan is your permanent legal home, you may claim Michigan as your legal residence and will not be
required to complete an Application for Resident Classification. The University in its discretion may require you to
complete an Application for Resident Classification and submit supporting documentation to determine whether you are a
resident or nonresident under the University’s Guidelines. The University also reserves the right to audit your information
and re-classify you as a nonresident.
2.
How Will Your Application For Resident Classification Be Evaluated?
18
If you are required to file an Application for Resident Classification, the University’s Residency Classification Office will
evaluate the information you provide to determine whether you have presented clear and convincing evidence
demonstrating that Michigan is your permanent legal residence. The next sections of these Guidelines are designed to
explain in greater detail the standards the Residency Classification Office will apply as your Application for Resident
Classification is considered.
(1)
a. Circumstances that may demonstrate permanent Michigan residence
The following circumstances and activities, though not conclusive or exhaustive, may lend support to a claim that
Michigan is your permanent legal residence:

Both of your parents or parents-in-law (or in the case of divorce, one parent or parent-in-law) are permanent legal
residents of Michigan as demonstrated by permanent employment in the State, establishment of a primary
household in Michigan, and severance of out-of-state ties. You must also show that you have severed all out-of-state
ties that suggest another state is your legal residence.

You are employed in Michigan in a full-time, permanent position, your employment is the primary purpose for your
or your family’s presence in the State, and you have severed any out-of-state ties that suggest another state is your
legal residence.

Your spouse or partner is employed in Michigan in a full-time, permanent position, your spouse or partner’s
employment is the primary purpose for your family's presence in the State, and you have severed all out-of-state ties
that suggest another state is your legal residence.
(2)
b. Circumstances that do not demonstrate permanent Michigan residence
The circumstances and activities listed below are most often temporary or indeterminate and do not demonstrate
permanent residence in Michigan. Individuals whose claim to Michigan residence is based solely on one or more of the
following will generally not be found to be Michigan residents for tuition purposes:

you are enrolled in a high school, community college, or university in Michigan;

you are in a medical residency program, fellowship, or internship in Michigan;

your employment in Michigan is temporary or short-term or of the type usually considered an internship or
apprenticeship;

your spouse or partner’s employment in Michigan is temporary or of the type usually considered an internship or
apprenticeship;

your spouse or partner’s employment in Michigan is permanent but you are in the State for temporary reasons;
19

your employment position in Michigan is normally held by a student;

you have paid Michigan income tax or filed Michigan resident income tax returns;

your relatives (other than parents) live in Michigan;

you own property or pay Michigan property taxes;

you possess a Michigan driver's license or voter’s registration;

you possess a Permanent Resident Alien visa;

you have continuous physical presence in Michigan for one year or more;

you sign a statement of intent to be domiciled in Michigan.
(3)
c. Immigrants and Aliens
If you are a permanent resident alien, an asylee or refugee, or possess an A, E, G, or I visa, you may be eligible for in-state
tuition if you provide official documentation establishing your immigration status and demonstrate that Michigan is your
permanent legal residence as defined under these Guidelines. Dependent children who hold an E visa are not eligible to be
considered for resident classification. Individuals holding temporary visas, including, but not limited to F, H, J, K, L,
Parolee, TN, and TD visas, are not eligible for in-state tuition as a Michigan resident.
(4)
d. Dependent Students
You are presumed to be a dependent of your parents if you are 24 years of age or younger and (1) have been primarily
involved in educational pursuits, or (2) have not been financially self-supporting through employment.
17.
If you are a dependent student, and both your parents are legal residents of another state, you are presumed to
be a nonresident.
18. If you are a dependent, your parents or parents-in-law are divorced, and at least one parent or parent-in-law is a
permanent legal resident of the State of Michigan (as defined in these Guidelines), you are presumed to be a resident
if you can demonstrate that (a) Michigan is your permanent legal residence and (b) you have severed all out-of-state
ties.
19. If you are a student living in Michigan with your parents and a permanent legal resident of this State as defined by
these Guidelines, you are presumed to retain resident status eligibility even if your parents leave the State if all of
the following are true: (1) you have completed at least your junior year of high school before your parents'
departure; (2) you remain in Michigan, enrolled full-time in high school or an institution of higher education; and
(3) you have not taken steps to establish a legal residence outside Michigan or any other action inconsistent with
maintaining a permanent legal residence in Michigan.
20
(5)
e. Michigan Residents and Absences From the State
You may be able to retain your eligibility for resident classification under the conditions listed below if you are a
permanent legal resident of Michigan under these Guidelines and leave the State for certain types of activities. However, if
you have been absent from the State, you must file an Application for Resident Classification by the appropriate filing
deadline to request resident classification and demonstrate your eligibility.
20.
Absence for Active Duty Military Service (U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard,
Merchant Marine, Officers in the Public Health Service), Non-Administrative Missionary Work, Peace
Corps, AmeriCorps, or Similar Philanthropic Work
If you are a permanent legal resident of Michigan as defined by these Guidelines when you enter active military
duty, missionary work, Peace Corps, or similar service, you are presumed to retain your eligibility for resident
classification if you (1) are on continuous active duty or in continuous service and (2) continuously claim Michigan
as your state of legal residence for income tax purposes. If you are a dependent child of such an individual, you are
presumed to be eligible for resident classification if both of the following are true: (1) you are coming to the
University of Michigan directly from high school or have been continuously enrolled in college since graduating
from high school; and (2) you have not claimed residency for tuition purposes elsewhere.
21.
Absence Because of Temporary Foreign Assignment
If you are a dependent student and you and your parents are permanent legal residents of Michigan immediately
preceding an absence for a temporary foreign assignment with a parent’s Michigan employer, you may retain your
eligibility for resident classification if both of the following are true: (1) your family members hold temporary visas
in the foreign country, and (2) you return directly to Michigan and remain in the State for educational purposes after
leaving the foreign country.
22.
Temporary Absence of Less Than One Year
If you are independently a permanent legal resident of Michigan immediately preceding a temporary absence of less
than one year, you are presumed to retain eligibility for resident classification provided that, immediately upon your
return to Michigan, you sever any out-of-state ties that suggest another state is your legal residence.
3.
What Documents Must You Submit With Your Application For Resident Classification?
Along with your completed Application for Resident Classification form, you must submit additional documents.
a. All Applicants. All applicants must submit the following additional documents with an Application for Resident
Classification:
21


resident eligibility;


for you and the person or persons upon whom you are basing your claim to resident eligibility; and

any other documentation that supports your claim to resident eligibility.
b. Dependents. If you are claimed as a dependent on federal or state income tax returns, or are presumed to be a
dependent under these Guidelines, you must also submit the following documents:

copies of the front and signature pages of your parents' most recent year's federal and state income tax returns, along
with accompanying W2s (and Schedule C and E if self employed) along with your parents’ most recent pay stubs
showing Michigan income taxes being withheld.
c. Applicants Claiming Residency on the Basis of Employment. If you are seeking to establish that you are a Michigan
resident on the basis of your permanent employment in the State, or the permanent employment of your parent, spouse, or
partner, you must also submit the following documents:

a signed letter from the employer, written on letterhead (including phone number), stating the position, status, and
dates of employment; and

a copy of the most recent pay stub showing that Michigan taxes are being withheld.
d. Applicants Born Outside the United States. All applicants born outside the United States seeking to establish
eligibility for in-state tuition based on Michigan residency must also submit documents verifying U.S. citizenship or lawful
permanent residence in the U.S.
4.
Will You Be Required To Submit Additional Documentation?
In addition to the documentation required above, the Residency Classification Office may request additional
documentation after the initial review of your application.
5.
What Happens To Materials Submitted With An Application For Resident Classification?
Applications and accompanying documentation will be retained by the University of Michigan in accordance with its
policies and procedures. All information will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.
6.
What Information Does the Residency Classification Office Consider?

23
D.
IV. Deadlines
It is important to file your materials in a timely fashion. You may apply for in-state tuition for any term in which you are enrolled
or intend to enroll. Late applications will be assessed a nonrefundable $300 late fee and will be accepted up to the last published
day of classes of the term for which you are applying. Late applications received after the last day of classes will be treated as
applications for the following term. In all cases, decisions will be based only on those facts that are in place by the original filing
deadline for the term under consideration.

Fall Term: all required materials must be received by 5:00 p.m. on September 30 of that term.

Winter Term: all required materials must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 31 of that term.

Spring, Spring/Summer, and Summer Terms: all required materials must be received by 5:00 p.m. on July 31 of that
term.
If the deadline falls on a weekend or University holiday, all required materials must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the next business
day.
These deadlines apply to all University of Michigan schools, colleges, and campuses. For the On-Job or On-Campus program
only, filing deadlines are 30 calendar days after the first scheduled day of classes of the term for which you are applying.
E.
V. Appeals
If your request for in-state tuition is denied, you may file an appeal as described below.
The Board of Regents has charged the Appeal Committee with reviewing decisions about eligibility for in-state tuition. The
Appeal Committee is chaired by the Vice President and Secretary of the University and includes two other University
administrators, a faculty member, and a student. Staff of the Residency Classification Office are not members of the Appeal
Committee.
Any appeal must be in writing and must be received by the Appeal Committee no later than 5:00 p.m. on the 30th calendar day
following the date of the letter denying your request for in-state tuition. If the deadline falls on a weekend or University holiday,
your appeal must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the next business day.
The mailing address for the Appeal Committee is as follows: Residency Appeal Committee, c/o 1210 LS&A Bldg., 500 S. State
Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1382.
If there is additional information you would like the Appeal Committee to consider beyond the materials you have already
submitted, you should submit that additional information, in writing, with appropriate supporting documentation, with your
24
written appeal. The Appeal Committee may consider the appeal letter and additional documentation along with all the
information in your original request.
Personal contact with a member of the Appeal Committee about the subject of your appeal could disqualify him or her from
participating in the decision regarding your appeal. The Appeal Committee does not meet in person with students, and
appearances on behalf of students are not permitted at appeal meetings.
After the Appeal Committee has completed its deliberations, you will receive the Committee's final decision in writing. This will
conclude the appeal process for the term covered by the application. The University will not conduct any further review of the
decision.
F.
VI. Misrepresentations, Falsifications, Omissions; Audits; And Adverse Consequences
Individuals who provide false or misleading information or who omit relevant information in an attempt wrongly to obtain instate tuition will be subject to severe legal and disciplinary measures, including but not limited to expulsion from the University
and retroactive tuition charges. The University routinely audits information and documentation submitted with requests for instate tuition to ensure compliance.
