SUMMARY OF THE OHIO BOARD OF REGENTS RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR TUITION PURPOSES

As a state of Ohio assisted institution, Miami University is obligated to comply with the law established by the Ohio legislature and charged to the Ohio Board of Regents in regard to verifying

residency status and assessing tuition costs for each student. The Residency Officer reviews a student’s residency application in accordance with the Ohio Student Residency Subsidy and

Tuition Guidelines (Ohio Administrative Code, Section 3333.1.10. Website: ). Information requested is necessary to satisfy state auditors upon their

review of the applicant’s file. Students classified as residents for tuition purposes receive the benefit of a state-supported education, funded largely by the taxpayers of Ohio. The guidelines

are therefore meant to exclude from residency those who are in Ohio primarily for the purpose of receiving a state-supported education.

CHECK () THE BOX of the guideline for which you are requesting residency and attach the requisite

documents.

Include this summary form with your

Application for Resident Classification for Tuition Purposes. (Refer to the complete policy on Ohio Student Residency for State Subsidy and Tuition Purposes.)

Your signature on the last page of this completed application must be notarized.

(C-1) Dependent Student– (You are a student whose spouse, or are a dependent student, at least one of whose parent or legal guardian, has been a resident of

Ohio for 12 consecutive months prior to the start of the semester for which you are applying for residency.) If you meet the Ohio Board of Regents Guidelines as the

dependent student of an Ohio resident under this rule, you should submit, in addition to the Application for Resident Classification for Tuition Purposes and other appropriate

documentation, a notarized letter of support and appropriate documentation from your spouse or parent/legal guardian that contains the following information:

Your name, social security number and the amount and type of financial support they provided you during the 12-month period of review.

Number of years spouse or parent/legal guardian has lived in Ohio (copies of deeds or rental agreement(s) or lease(s) for the preceding 12 consecutive months).

Number of years spouse or parent/legal guardian has paid taxes in Ohio and include a copy of their most recent Ohio personal income tax return.

Whether or not at least one parent/legal guardian has claimed the student as a dependent for tax purposes (copy of most recent federal income tax return showing

dependent section). For spouse, provide a copy of the marriage license.

(C-2) Independent Student– (You are trying to become an Ohio resident and attend school full-time (parents live outside the state of Ohio.)

If you satisfy all of the following criteria you may be classified as a resident upon submission of the Application for Resident Classification for Tuition Purposes and the

documentation indicated below. Additional documentation may be required to provide evidence of the independent student status.

You must be independent. If you are claimed on your parent(s) or legal guardian’s federal income tax return, you are a dependent and your residency is

determined by their residency status. Students must provide a copy of their parent(s) most recent federal and state income tax return.

You must live in Ohio for a full, 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the semester for which you are applying for residency. The expectation is that you

should not be absent from the state any longer than winter break, spring break, and three weeks during the summer. You must have a lease, rent receipts, property

settlement or deed, or other formal documentation that shows your permanent residence in Ohio.

You should demonstrate your intent to become an Ohio resident by transferring any applicable items of registration to Ohio, such as a driver’s license, automobile

registration, and voter registration one year prior to the semester for which reclassification is desired.

You must demonstrate that during the preceding 12-month period of review while establishing residency, you are totally self-supporting with sufficient

income derived from within the state of Ohio and have subjected that income to Ohio taxation, to meet all expenses without the need of money from outside the

State of Ohio. You cannot receive any financial support from outside the state of Ohio to assist with payment of tuition, books, room, board, insurance and other living

expenses. Financial Aid that requires you to be a resident of another state or parent PLUS loan money to parents who are not Ohio residents makes you

ineligible under C-2 status. Documentation of all your sources of income used during the 12-month period of review and your federal and Ohio tax returns are

required.

(C-3) Dependent Student (INSTANT RESIDENCY)– (You are the dependent student or spouse of a person who is living and employed on a full-time, self-

sustaining basis in Ohio.) An employed person who, as of the first day of a term of enrollment, has established domicile and accepted full-time self-sustaining employment in

Ohio and their dependent spouse/children are eligible for instant residency. Graduate Assistantships are not considered as full-time employment. If you are applying for C-3

residency you must complete the Application for Resident Classification for Tuition Purposes and submit the following documents for review by the established deadline:

A letter from the employed person’s employer, on company letterhead that indicates:

Name of the employed person, date his/her employment began, he/she is employed full-time, and base salary amount.

Copy of deed or property settlement verifying purchase of house in Ohio, or rental agreement or lease.

Copy of Ohio Driver’s License(s)

Copy of Ohio vehicle registration(s)

Copy of Ohio voter registration (optional)

One of the following to verify that you are dependent upon the full-time employed individual:

If you are dependent upon a spouse who is employed full-time, submit a copy of your marriage license/certificate.

If the veteran seeks residency status for tuition surcharge purposes, the veteran has established domicile in this state as of the first day of term of enrollment in an

institution of higher education. If the spouse or a dependent of the veteran seeks residency status for tuition surcharge purposes, the veteran and the spouse or

dependent seeking residency status have established domicile in this state as of the first day of term of enrollment in an institution of higher education, except that if the

veteran was killed while serving on active military duty or has been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of war, only the spouse or dependent seeking
