<p>Is there a way to become a Michigan resident while attending UMich or is it like the UC's where it's basically impossible to become a California resident for tuition purposes?</p>
<p>Thanks for any input.</p>
<p>I'd go with "impossible."</p>
<p>California is actually a lot easier.</p>
<p>To be considered In-State in most states, I believe you have to live one year and pay taxes. But for Michigan, that doesn't cut it. You're required to have some sort of extenuating circumstance. For instance: death of a family member forces you to move, custody split between parents, etc. You won't be considered IS on the notion that you want a reduced tuition. I'll be a first-year student at Michigan and I'm OOS so I where you're coming from.</p>
<p>they changed the rules... you have to live in mi for like 3 years and prove to the school u're living there for purposes not related to education when applying for in-state tuition.
I'mma say NO.</p>
<p>mmmm...none of you are quite correct. In order to petition, you have to have a michigan permenant address for at least a year. Then you must prove to the state that you are in Michigan for purposes other than education...I don't believe you have to live in MI for 3 years, but proving that you aren't here for education is pretty tough if you are 19, living alone, and working at McDonalds in Ypsi.</p>
<p>If you enter UM as a non-resident, it is most likely you will graduate as a non-resident.</p>

<p>kb54010, you basically reworded everything I said.</p>
