Kansas Residency & Military Service

Classification as a resident of Kansas for tuition purposes is governed by Kansas state law and regulations, not university policy. A person can be a resident for any other purpose and NOT be a resident for tuition purposes at a state university. Residency classification is initially determined at the point of admission review through the responses to the questions on this page. The University may adjust residency, at any time, as information becomes available that may indicate an initial, incorrect residency classification.

Any person who wishes to change their residency classification after admission may do so through the Office of the Registrar. The Graduate School will not change the residency classification for an application after an admission decision has been determined.

This section may populate additional questions based on your current answers. Failure to include the required information will result in a non-resident classification.
