If the information provided does not meet these criteria, is incomplete, or has conflicting information, the applicant will be considered a nonresident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">How am I notified of my classification?<\/span><br \/>\nYou will be notified in your Admissions letter. Under \u201cTuition Classification\u201d the statement will read Resident or Nonresident. If you are uncertain you can always reach out to <a href=\"mailto:admissions@sou.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">admissions@sou.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Is there a difference between being an Oregon resident and residency for tuition purposes?<\/span><br \/>\nYes. Every state organization may have its own rules and regulations as to what determines a resident. Oregon Public Universities (OPU) are governed by the Residency Standards. You can review the <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/12\/Residency-Standards-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Residency Standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Why is there a tuition separation between resident and nonresident?<\/span><br \/>\nIn Oregon, as in all other states, tuition at publicly supported four-year universities is higher for nonresident students than for resident students. The goal is to provide support preference to residents of Oregon.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Why does my financial aid say I\u2019m a resident when I\u2019m listed as a nonresident?<\/span><br \/>\nFinancial aid is determined from the information provided by the FAFSA. If you indicated Oregon as your residence on the FAFSA, the aid distributed will list you as a resident. However, this does not qualify you for resident status, as this is determined by the OAR rules. Your financial aid will revert to whatever designation was determined at the time of your admission application.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I am not a resident of Oregon, where is my residency?<\/span><br \/>\nWe only determine residency for tuition purposes for Oregon. Each state has its own rules governing residency. You do not have to be a resident of another state to be denied residency for tuition purposes in Oregon.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">What is the Residency Officer\u2019s role?<\/span><br \/>\nThe Residency Officer has the authority to apply and interpret these rules and procedures. They can also advise individuals seeking to gain residency for tuition purposes. No other indication or determination of residency by any other institutional office, department, program, or staff represents the official institutional determination of residency.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">QUALIFYING FOR RESIDENCY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">What are the key considerations for determining my residency classification?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The student has lived in a residence in Oregon for at least 12 months prior to the beginning of the term in which the student plans to start school or to make a residency case<\/li>\n<li>The student is financially dependent on an Oregon resident or has financial independence<\/li>\n<li>The student\u2019s primary purpose for being in Oregon is something other than to obtain an education<\/li>\n<li>The nature and sources of student\u2019s financial resources are not related to education (e.g., student loans)<\/li>\n<li>The student can show various indicators of residency (e.g., ownership of a primary residence, permanent employment, or payment of income taxes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Can I attend school while attaining residency?<\/span><br \/>\nYou may take up to 8 credits per term while you are establishing the 12 consecutive months of residence required to achieve resident status; however, you must also make sure that your primary activity and financial support are not related to education. For example, if you receive over 50% of your financial support from educational loans or scholarships and\/or you are not working or doing another non-educational activity for the majority of your time, education may still be considered to be your primary activity. Make sure to provide objective evidence to support your claim.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I live in Oregon for twelve consecutive months, will I be a resident after attending as a nonresident for a year?<\/span><br \/>\nNot necessarily, if you take more than two classes (typically 8 credits) per term, in any term, in those first twelve months, the state will presume that your primary purpose for living in Oregon is for educational purposes and you will continue to be classified as a nonresident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I live just across the Oregon border, but work in Oregon and pay Oregon taxes, are my dependents or I considered residents for tuition purposes?<\/span><br \/>\nNo, if you live out of state, you would be considered a nonresident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I own property in Oregon, and pay Oregon property taxes, are my dependents or I considered residents for tuition purposes?<\/span><br \/>\nIf you own property but do not maintain a predominant physical presence in Oregon, you will be considered a nonresident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I serve in the military, am I considered an Oregon resident?<\/span><br \/>\nActive members of the armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Military Reservists, and members of the Oregon National Guard) and their spouses and dependent children shall be considered residents for tuition purposes if certain conditions are met. For more information, see <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/12\/Residency-Standards-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Residency Standards Section F<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Can I be considered a resident if I am not a US citizen?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">If I am a member of a Native American tribe, do I qualify for residency?<\/span><br \/>\nEnrolled members of a federally recognized tribe of Oregon or enrolled members of a Native American tribe that had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that included parts of the state of Oregon or that ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon shall be a resident regardless of the state of residence. For a list of tribes that qualify, see <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2018\/12\/Residency-Standards-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Residency Standards<\/a> Section F.<\/p>\n<p>If your tribe is not on that list, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/admissions\/afford\/aboriginal-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aboriginal Rights<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">APPLYING FOR RESIDENCY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">How can I prove my residency?<\/span><br \/>\nIf you were determined to be a nonresident because the residency section on the application was incomplete, you may complete the Residency Supplement and we will reconsider the decision. If you were determined to be a nonresident because we felt that you did not meet the criteria based on the application information, you may submit the Residency Affidavit and all accompanying material to the Residency Officer. To determine which option applies to you, email the Residency Officer at <a href=\"mailto:residency@sou.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">residency@sou.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Are there deadlines for submitting my residency information?<\/span><br \/>\nThe last date you can submit either the Residency Supplement or the complete Residency Affidavit is the last day of the first week of term in which resident classification is sought. Since the summer term has multiple start dates, the deadline is a little later in the term. See the SOU Residency Affidavit Deadlines above for specific deadline dates.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Can I apply for residency for prior terms?<\/span><br \/>\nNo. Residency changes are only good for future terms and complete materials must be submitted by the last day of the first week of the term for which you are applying for residency.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">How do I determine if I\u2019m \u201cfinancially independent or dependent\u201d?<\/span><br \/>\nThe OARs define a \u201cfinancially independent person\u201d as someone who declares financial independency, who has not been claimed as a dependent on another person\u2019s current or previous years\u2019 tax returns, and who is not receiving more than 50% financial support from another person. A \u201cfinancially dependent person\u201d would be someone who does not meet one of these criteria.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">What do you consider as being financial support?<\/span><br \/>\nAny and all expenses incurred by the applicant over the past year. This includes housing costs, tuition costs, car payments, etc. If there are no direct payments or contracts, as would be the case for an applicant living at home, then estimate the average local cost for room rentals for a year. If you are not paying for those expenses, then we would consider that to be outside support from whoever owns the property.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">How do I prove I\u2019m \u201cfinancially dependent or independent\u201d?<\/span><br \/>\nTax returns are the best way. If you are under 24, you are required to submit a copy of your parent\/guardian\u2019s tax returns to prove your status. Other proof would be W-2\u2019s, pay stubs, and other financial statements showing personal income.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">It seems invasive. Do I have to submit all these documents?<\/span><br \/>\nIt may seem invasive, but seeking residency for tuition purposes is no different than seeking financial aid. By submitting the required information to the Residency Officer, you can attain a resident classification that will significantly reduce your tuition. Of course, it is up to you to determine which documentation you wish to provide, but insufficient objective evidence of support may result in a denial of the appeal.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Are there exceptions to these rules?<\/span><br \/>\nThe Residency Officer is bound by the interpretation and application of these policies to make an initial determination at the campus level. If an applicant disagrees with the Residency Officer\u2019s decision, they may choose to appeal the decision to the Inter-institutional Residency Committee (IRC). The IRC meets once a term to hear and rule on appeals to campus-level decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-cwjps-991b5033bae90c4dd727c6fb43127df1'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-case-examples' data-fake-id='#case-examples' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='case-examples' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Case Examples&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: &lt;strong&gt;Case Examples&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: &lt;strong&gt;Case Examples&lt;\/strong&gt;\"><strong>Case Examples<\/strong><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='case-examples' aria-labelledby='toggle-case-examples' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A student\u2019s parents divorce and the student lives with one parent in another state while the other parent lives in Oregon. The student applies to SOU and requests residency.<\/span><br \/>\nIf the Oregon parent claims the student on the federal tax return, then the student is a resident. If the other parent claims the student, the student is not a resident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A student graduates from an Oregon high school. The family has lived in Oregon for quite some time. The student attends college in another state and then transfers to Oregon.<\/span><br \/>\nIf the student remained a dependent on the family in Oregon they would be an Oregon resident. If the student was no longer a dependent student but never relinquished their Oregon residency, they may still qualify as a resident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A student graduates from an Oregon high school, attends college in another state, and stays in that state after graduation in order to take a job. After several years, they return to Oregon to attend graduate school.<\/span><br \/>\nThe student must re-establish Oregon residency. Just as it takes a year to establish residency, if a person is gone for a year or more and has taken a job in another state, they have lost their Oregon residency.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A student graduates from a non-Oregon high school, moves to Oregon to live with a grandparent or other relative, and claims Oregon residency.<\/span><br \/>\nThe student is only a resident if the relative residing in Oregon has legal custody of the student. Simply moving in with a relative in Oregon does not establish residency.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A non-resident student marries an Oregon resident, then applies for residency.<\/span><br \/>\nMarrying an Oregon resident in no way affects residency status. This person must qualify solely on their own merits.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A person moves to Oregon to live with their significant other. They immediately begin going to college and a year later they apply for residency.<\/span><br \/>\nAs with a married person, they would need to establish residency on their own.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A person joins the military from Oregon as an Oregon resident and applies to SOU after being discharged some years later.<\/span><br \/>\nThe law requires ex-military members who were Oregon residents to return to Oregon within 60 days of discharge to retain residency. After 60 days the person must re-establish residency.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A person applies for residency but has little if any documentation. They have been camping, bunking with friends, and just hanging out. They do odd jobs for \u201cunder the table\u201d money. They may or may not have an Oregon driver\u2019s license or ID card. They may only have an Oregon Health Plan card.<\/span><br \/>\nResidency rules are not intended to penalize someone if the person is houseless. However, the person must provide sufficient objective documentation to substantiate being in Oregon for at least 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">A student attends SOU as a non-resident, graduates, obtains employment within Oregon, and several years later, applies to an SOU graduate program.<\/span><br \/>\nThis student is now a resident, but because they first attended SOU as a non-resident, they must apply for and document their claim to residency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-8dfsw-2137fbb4c3cbc3727313d1213b3536bb'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-residency-definitions' data-fake-id='#residency-definitions' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='residency-definitions' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Residency Definitions&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: &lt;strong&gt;Residency Definitions&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: &lt;strong&gt;Residency Definitions&lt;\/strong&gt;\"><strong>Residency Definitions<\/strong><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='residency-definitions' aria-labelledby='toggle-residency-definitions' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Domicile<\/span> &#8211; A person\u2019s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation.
