Residency is a legal term and determines if you pay in-state or out-of-state tuition. Residency can be changed during your time at Boise State University, but you must request the change after meeting the state requirements. Your legal residence for fee purposes is determined at the time of initial application for admission to Boise State and remains unchanged in the absence of satisfactory written evidence to the contrary.
The burden of proof in requesting reclassification to resident status rests with you in providing clear and convincing evidence of residency for tuition purposes as defined by the law.
Your legal residence is determined by your initial admission application. If you were not a resident when you applied to Boise State, the process below will help you change your residency status with Boise State.
For questions about your residency status, please email idahoresidency boisestate. Submit materials after you satisfy qualifying criteria, but no later than 10 school days after the opening of the semester for which the change in status is requested. If you submit a form after the 10th day, it will apply to the following semester. For questions, email idahoresidency boisestate. You can also schedule an in-person, phone, or remote meeting with the residency coordinator.
Schedule an appointment with the Residency Coordinator. Continuously Resided means you have maintained a physical presence in Idaho for 12 consecutive months. As an independent student you must have continuously resided in Idaho for the 12 months prior to the term for which residency is sought.
