How is a student classified as in-state or out-of-state?
An initial determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge-differential purposes will be made at the time a student’s application for admission is under consideration. Students not entitled to in-state status (under the University System of Maryland Policy on Student Residency Classification for Admission, Tuition and Charge-Differential Purposes – VIII-2.70) will be assigned out-of-state status for admission, tuition, and charge-differential purposes. Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions will also inform each applicant of his or her residency classification in the letter of acceptance.
