Residency Status for Fee-Payment Purposes

The university assesses tuition based on whether or not the student is considered a resident of the State of Indiana for Fee-Payment purposes. The rules for determining residency are established by the Trustees of the University. The initial determination is made at time of admission. If the student is found a non-resident and wishes to appeal the decision, she or he should contact the Office of the Registrar for an Application for Classification as a Resident Student.

Students initially classified as non-residents who have since lived in Indiana for twelve months and believe themselves otherwise eligible for resident status will need to submit an Application for Classification as a Resident Student. Our systems do not automatically make the change twelve months after initial enrollment.

IUPUI is Indiana's premier urban research university. The campus enrolls more than 30,000 students in 21 schools and academic units.
