Residency Addendum to Amend an Admissions Application

Residency Addendum to Amend an Admissions Application

If your admissions application classified you 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 only available to students between their admissions application and the tuition deadline of 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.

School of Dentistry Addenda

Addenda are available for new students applying for admissions to the School of Dentistry, since their admissions is based solely on the University of Utah admissions application.

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
  • *With the exception of College of Law students and School of Medicine students:
    • College of Law does internal admissions, and as such, the University of Utah Office of Admissions Residency Division has no jurisdiction to amend Law admissions applications with an addendum.
    • School of Medicine determines a student’s residency status at the time of application by each applicant’s legal state of residence as indicated on their AMCAS application.  As such, University of Utah Office of Admissions Residency Division cannot amend the initial residency coding to override AMCAS.
