In-State Residency

In accordance with the Arkansas Division of Higher Education policy, in order to be eligible for classification as in-state resident (and be charged the in-state tuition rate), you must be a legal resident of Arkansas. This means you must be a U.S. citizen or have Permanent Resident Alien status and meet one of the following criteria: lived in the state of Arkansas as a non-student for at least six consecutive months immediately preceding the first date of the semester; married to a legal resident of Arkansas; be a dependent student (under the age of 21) and have a parent/legal guardian who is a legal resident of Arkansas; be an independent student (over age of 21, married, parent of a minor child, or legally emancipated minor) and by good faith acts have demonstrated intent to make Arkansas your permanent home; or be (or a parent/guardian or spouse) a member of the U.S. military who is stationed in Arkansas pursuant to military orders.

Mere physical presence in Arkansas is not sufficient tso establish residency or demonstrate future intent.

Supporting documentation may include but not limited to: Arkansas driver’s license (issued at least six months prior to registration); marriage license; personal property tax from previous year; deed from purchase of a home; copy of lease; military ID, orders or LES.

Arkansas Code Ann. § 6-60-215 allows UACCM to classify students with nontraditional documented immigration status as in-state for purposes of tuition and fees under limited circumstances. Students may initiate the request for in-state tuition by submitting a “Non-Traditional Documented Immigrant Request for In-State Tuition” form and evidence of their eligibility. Students must submit verifying documents prior to census date of the semester enrolled to receive in-state tuition. If verifying documents are received following census date, tuition status will be changed for the next semester in which the student enrolls, if all documents remain valid.
