Welcome to Residency Classification
The Office of Residency Classification assists graduate and undergraduate students with application for entitlement to pay in-state rates on tuition and fees.
Application for Resident Status
Each student or prospective student whose status for entitlement of in-state tuition and fees is uncertain can receive a University ruling. In doing so, students and their families must provide all relevant information on special application forms. Supporting documentation is routinely required.
Undergraduate students must submit a complete application, which consists of
- Student form
- Parental/Spouse/Guardian Form
- Supporting documentation
These forms can be printed from this Web page or obtained from the Office of Residency Classification in G01 Sikes Hall, 864-656-2280.
Applications will be accepted until the day before the first day of classes for the term that a student is seeking in-state status, but the full out-of-state bill must be paid. If a student’s residence is changed, he or she will receive a refund for any overpaid tuition.
Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
