Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes
The classification of currently enrolled students and former UGA undergraduates re-admitted as a former UGA undergraduate is the responsibility of the Office of the Registrar. The University System of Georgia Board of Regents Policy Manual contains the criteria for classification as in-state for tuition purposes. If you have been classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes and you think further information could change that classification, you should submit the University of Georgia Petition for Classification as In-State for Tuition Purposes (PDF) and all supporting documentation.
Be sure to read the Board of Regents policy at: http://www.usg.edu/policymanual/section4/policy/4.3_student_residency/
After you have completed the petition and attached all supporting documentation, you should mail or bring them to:
Office of the Registrar
Holmes/Hunter Academic Bldg
Athens, GA 30602-6113
Deadlines for submission are:
- Fall Semester: August 1
- Spring Semester: December 1
- Summer Semester: May 1
Petitions for previous semesters will not be reviewed.
