Residency Reclassification

Generally, a student’s residency for the purpose of tuition and fees is determined at the time of application for admission as either in-state, out-of-state, or international.

Any student who believes they qualify for (1) in-state tuition as a resident of Connecticut in accordance with Connecticut General Statute 10a-26, or (2) the New England, New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania tuition discount as a resident of one of those states, may file this application at any time to request a change of residency.

As a reminder...

  • You may or may not be called for an interview.
  • You will receive notification of your application status within 1-2 weeks. 
  • If approved, reclassification will not be retroactive to prior semesters.   
  • The Student Code of Conduct prohibits the act of providing false information to school officials. 

For questions about residency please contact the Registrar's Office directly at registrar@southernct.edu or call (203) 392-5301.
