Appeal Procedures

In cases where a student's residency is denied by the university, they will receive written notification of their residency status along with a Residency Classification Appeal form. Students may appeal their residency  classification decision by submitting a completed Residency Classification Appeal form along with any additional supporting documentation or personal statement. The student's case will be reffered to the residency appeal committee for review. The residency appeal committee will render a final decision in writing to the student.  Letters will also be issued for deferred decisions should the committee request additional information.
