Residency Citizenship and Immigration Requirements

Any student seeking to reclassify as a resident for tuition purposes must hold:

  • U.S. citizenship
  • Granted permanent residency
  • Granted asylum or refugee status
  • Special Immigrant Visa
  • Humanitarian Parole
  • Temporary Protected Status
  • Or good faith evidence of a submitted application for refugee status, humanitarian parole, temporary protected status, or asylum under United States immigration law
    • Status cannot be expired, or removed.
    • “Good Faith Evidence” requires verified documentation

Students on other types of visas not listed above are ineligible for residency reclassification but may qualify for a tuition waiver if they have attended 3 years, and completed graduation, in a Utah high school.

Students with granted permanent residency, granted asylum or granted refugee status must submit valid and unexpired documentation.
