Sample Application For Classification As An "In-State" Student For Fee And Admissions Purposes

Applying for Residency classification or reclassification

Persons applying to UTHSC or currently enrolled students at UT Health Science Center may

request a change of their residency classification by submitting a signed and notarized residency

application to the Office of Enrollment Services.

The application should provide evidence to

show that the individual/student is not seeking in-state classification simply for admission and/or

tuition paying purposes.

* Enrolled student applications and supporting documentation must be submitted in the

semester prior to the term the student is seeking reclassification. If reclassification is granted,

the effective date will be the beginning of the upcoming semester. (Ex: applications submitted in

the fall semester will be effective for the spring semester, etc.)

* Prospective students who apply for instate classification will be considered out of state during

the admissions process until a residency classification has been determined. All residency

decisions for prospective students should be completed by the date of matriculation.

Unless the contrary appears from clear and convincing

evidence, it shall be presumed that an

emancipated person does not acquire domicile in this state while enrolled as a full-time student.
