For new students – when is a student’s residency status determined at SJSU?
The Admissions Office/Graduate Admission at SJSU will determine each student’s residency status when the completed application for admission is received and processed. The decision is based on the information contained in the application for admission, transcripts, and other documents required for admission. The residency status determined at this time remains in effect until the student submits the “Residence Questionnaire”. Use this form only if it is your first semester and you feel that you were incorrectly classified as a non-resident. Submitting the Residence Questionnaire at the time of application for admission will assist the office with making a residency decision. Failure to submit the form may result in an incorrect decision.
