The university assesses tuition based on whether or not the student is considered a resident of the State of Indiana for Fee-Payment purposes. The rules for determining residency are established by the Trustees of the University. The initial determination is made at time of admission. If the student is found a non-resident and wishes to appeal the decision, they should submit an Application for Classification as a Resident Student.*

Students initially classified as non-residents who have since lived in Indiana for twelve months and believe themselves otherwise eligible for resident status will need to submit an Application for Classification as a Resident Student.* Our systems do not automatically make the change twelve months after initial enrollment.

*NOTE: The application must be filled out, printed, and turned in or mailed to the IUPUC Office of the Registrar, 4601 Central Ave., Columbus, IN 47203. It can not be sent via the web.
