Request for Reclassification Form (downloadable version)




In rare cases, state statute allows a student to receive temporary classification for in-state tuition purposes provided supporting documentation is submitted. A student should only request reclassification under one of these categories if they do not meet the requirements as either an independent or dependent student.

To view the required documentation for qualifying under one of the exceptional categories, click on the checkbox to the left. You must submit the supporting documentation along with your Request for Reclassification. All letters of verification must include a contact name and telephone number to allow University staff to confirm the information provided.
