<p>Are all Michigan applicants getting this email? D14 was born and has always lived in Michigan, yet U of M has requested that she file an Application for Resident Classification. What's up with that?</p>
<p>You might wish to contact the Registrar’s office immediately to inquire about that. Sounds like an error but one you’d not want to let continue due to the low % of OOS/International admits plus high cost ;)</p>
<p>When my son got that letter, (correctly, as he was a Canadian national but MI resident for 7 years prior) it meant he was considered OOS/Intl. until he met a very specific an rigorous set of criteria to establish residency.</p>
<p>I think it is an error. I spent the Summer taking classes at another University (as part of a Summer High School Program) and I was registered as an OOS Student. Call the Residency Office at 734-764-1400 and explain, and they will fix it in about a week.</p>
<p>I called the Residency Office and they said her application was flagged due to a one-week summer program at an out-of-state private college. Hopefully they will be able to change her status without filing all those forms, but we’ll have to wait a week to find out.</p>
<p>It should be OK, University of Michigan is very, very careful with residency. Everyone I know who had kids that did anything out of state with regard to education, whether it was a summer program or boarding school had to fill out the residency paperwork. It generally gets sorted out correctly within a reasonable period of time.</p>
<p>All straightened out. Took one phone call and less than the “one week” that they originally estimated. That’s a relief!</p>
