Are the requirements to be considered an in-state applicant and a person eligible for in-state tuition the same?
I’m a MI resident and attend a Michigan high school but one of these criterion apply to me, so I’ll have to file an application for resident classification. Will this mean I’m considered an OOS student when applying or does it not affect my admission chances?
Specifically, you must file an Application for Resident Classification if you seek in-state
tuition on the basis of Michigan residence and have any of the following out-of-state activities or
ties:
• you live outside the State of Michigan for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
education, volunteer activities, travel, or employment;
• you attended or graduated from a college outside the State of Michigan;
• you lived or worked outside the State of Michigan at any time within the last three years;
• you are not a U.S. citizen;
• your spouse, partner, or parent is in Michigan as a nonresident student, medical resident,
fellow or for military assignment or other temporary employment;
• you are 24 years of age or younger and a parent lives outside the State of Michigan;
• you are 24 years of age or younger and attended or graduated from a high school outside
the state of Michigan;
• you attended or graduated from an out-of-state high school and have been involved in
educational pursuits for the majority of time since high school graduation;
• you attended any University of Michigan campus (Ann Arbor, Dearborn, or Flint) as a
nonresident.
