If you are classified as a nonresident but meet the requirements for a policy or exception for resident status, you may apply to change your status by means of a residency addendum:

• You MUST be starting your first semester of a new university program.  Addenda are not available to students after they complete their first new semester in their university program.
• You MUST request and complete an addendum.
• The addendum MUST be submitted to the Residency Office for review and approval.
• A residency addendum submitted with all supporting documentation by the application deadline is guaranteed to receive a decision by the first day of the semester.
  • Addenda submitted between the day after the application deadline and the tuition deadline are late.
  • We will work on these addenda until the census deadline.
  • Incomplete addenda are removed after the census deadline.
  • We cannot guarantee a decision by the first day of the semester for late addenda.

To qualify, the student must:

• Live in Utah for 12 continuous months or more
  • Not live outside of Utah for longer than 11 months continuously after they have lived over a year in Utah
• Have a Utah driver’s license
• Be independent on federal taxes if parents or guardians live outside of Utah
  • Or be a tax dependent of Utah parents or guardians living in Utah for longer than a year
    • We may require the student’s parents’ or guardians’ tax documents or proof of a Utah domiciliary tie, such as a Utah driver’s license or other
