An undergraduate, graduate or PharmD student who starts at the University in an out-of-state billing status, who changes their permanent residence to Connecticut and is seeking in-state residency, must complete the Application for In-State Tuition.

For Incoming Students Who Have Not Yet Begun Classes at the University:
Residency is determined at the time of Admission for all incoming students.
Incoming Undergraduate students:
For tuition purposes, determining Connecticut residency is generally based on a student permanently residing in Connecticut for more than one year preceding the start of enrollment at the University of Connecticut (vacation homes do not qualify for Connecticut residency). Additional information can be found at Undergraduate Admissions Residency.
If you encounter any issues with your residency classification prior to your start date at the university, please contact onestop@uconn.edu.
Incoming Graduate students:
Incoming graduate students must verify their residency as part of their application to the University of Connecticut for tuition-based programs (fee-based programs will not ask for this verification). If you have questions about whether your program is tuition or fee-based, please visit your program’s website or contact our Bursar’s office.
If you encounter any issues with your residency classification prior to your start date at the university, please contact gradadmissions@uconn.edu.
