SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Residency Classification Information and Petition Packet Dependent Petition (web only) UNIVERSITY REGISTRAR S OFFICE RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION PO Box 870312 Tempe, AZ 85287-0312 E-mail: residency@asu.edu Fax: (480) 727-6630 Phone: (480) 965-7712 WEB: www.asu.edu/registrar/residency Hours: M-F 8:00 am 5:00 pm The term "Arizona resident" for tuition purposes may differ from other definitions of Arizona residency. A person who has an Arizona driver license, or who is an Arizona resident for tax, voting, or other purposes may not necessarily be considered a resident for tuition purposes. To be classified as a resident for tuition purposes, a student must meet the requirements for residency as defined by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR), which reflect State law. The forms contained in this packet are designed to help document that a student has met the ABOR requirements to be classified as an Arizona resident for tuition purposes. Under no circumstances are ABOR requirements waived. The ABOR requirements for Arizona resident tuition classification may be found online using the link at the bottom of our website: www.asu.edu/registrar/residency Calendar for Residency Classification Winter 2007 and Spring 2008 Winter Session 2007 Petitions Accepted Nov. 2, 2007 Dec. 21, 2007 Spring 2008 Petitions Accepted Nov. 2, 2007 Jan. 18, 2008 Processing Deadlines: The deadline dates listed above are firm. Per ABOR requirements, failure to submit a notarized petition by the deadline date constitutes a waiver of the right to petition for that semester. Petitions received after the deadline will not be evaluated. Processing time for a completed petition is 4-6 weeks. For petitioners wanting a residency decision prior to the fee payment deadline, it is suggested that the completed petition, with all required documents, be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to the deadline. Due to the high volume of petitions that are received, processing may take significantly longer during peak times. A petition will not be considered complete until all requested documents have been submitted to the Residency Classification Office. Full payment of tuition is due by the fee payment deadline (Nov. 30 for Winter session, Dec 17 for Spring). Unpaid accounts will be assessed a nonrefundable fee of $75 and placed on a Tuition Installment Plan. No extensions of payment deadlines are granted on the basis of unresolved residency. If a residency petition is in process at the time of fee payment deadline, the student will be responsible for paying out-ofstate fees. However, an appropriate refund will be issued if residency is granted. Instructions: It is expected that students have researched, read, and thoroughly understand the residency requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to be in compliance with all residency requirements, including the applicable state laws. Lack of knowledge of the applicable state laws will not excuse the requisite compliance. It is also advised that students review these requirements to ensure they can be objectively documented prior to submitting a petition. The burden of providing proof that all requirements for residency reclassification have been met rests with the student. Clear and convincing evidence must be submitted to support all responses given in a petition. Respond to all questions and statements and provide copies of all documentation requested. Failure to do so may result in the denial of the petition. No application for residency reclassification will be considered unless the appropriate forms are completely filled out and properly signed, dated, and notarized. The necessary supporting documents are listed on page 10 of the petition. If a student is unable to provide the requested documents a written statement must be included. If there is anything that a student feels must be explained, please attach a written statement. Students are expected to be forthcoming with all information presented in connection with the petition process, and by submitting a notarized petition, attest that all information is true and complete. Petitioners who have omitted, falsified, or misrepresented any information will be referred to Student Life for disciplinary action. Appeal Process: If a petition is not approved, the situation may be discussed with a Residency Specialist. If a student wishes to appeal the decision, a notarized request must be submitted to the Residency Classification Office by close of business on Jan. 25, 2008 for Winter Session, and Feb. 22, 2008 for Spring 2008. 1
