Idaho Residency Requirements for Fee Payment

Although a full-time regularly-enrolled resident student is not required to pay tuition while enrolled at Idaho State University, students are charged fees for educational costs excluding the cost of instruction in accordance with the Idaho State System of Higher Education "Notice to Nonresidents of the State of Idaho."

This notice defines a resident student for purposes of fee payments as:: Any student who has one (1) or more parents or court-appointed guardians who are domiciled in the state of Idaho. To qualify under this section, the parent, parents or guardian must have maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Idaho for at least one (1) year prior to the opening day of the semester for which the student matriculates.; Any student, who receives less than fifty percent (50%) of his/her support from parents or legal guardians who are not residents of Idaho for voting purposes, but which student has continuously resided in the state of Idaho for twelve (12) months preceding the opening day of the semester during which the student proposes to attend Idaho State University and who has in fact established a bona fide domicile in this state for purposes other than educational.; Any student who is a graduate of an accredited secondary school in the state of Idaho, and who enrolls at Idaho State University during the semester immediately following such graduation regardless of the residence of the student's parents or guardians.; Any student whose spouse is classified, or is eligible for classification, as a resident of the state of Idaho for the purposes of attending a college or university.; Any student who is a member of the armed forces of the United States, stationed in the state of Idaho on military orders, or whose parents or guardians are so assigned who receives fifty percent (50%) or more of support from said parent or guardian. The student, while in continuous attendance, shall not lose that residence when the student's parent or guardian is transferred on military orders.; Any student who is separated, under honorable conditions, from the armed forces after at least two years of service, who at the time of separation designates the state of Idaho as his intended domicile, or who has Idaho as the home of record in service, and enters Idaho State University within one (1) year of the date of separation.; Any student who has been domiciled in the state of Idaho, has qualified and would otherwise be qualified under the provisions of the statute, and who is away from the state for a period of less than one calendar year and has not established legal residence elsewhere provided a twelve-month period of continuous residence has been established immediately prior to departure.

A "non-resident" student shall include:: Any student attending an institution in this state with the aid of financial assistance provided by another state or governmental unit or agency thereof, such non-residency continuing for one (1) year after the completion of the semester for which such assistance is last provided.; Any person who is not a citizen of the United States of America, who does not have permanent or temporary resident status or does not hold "refugee-parolee" or "conditional entrant" status with the U.S. immigration and naturalization service or is not otherwise permanently residing in the U.S. under color of the law and who does not also meet and comply with all applicable requirements for establishing residency as covered under these provisions.

Establishing a New Domicile in Idaho

The establishment of a new domicile in Idaho by a person formerly domiciled in another state has occurred if such person is physically present in Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational and can show satisfactory proof that such person is without a present intention to return to such other state or to acquire a domicile at some other place outside of Idaho. In determining whether a student is domiciled in the state of Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational Idaho State University shall consider, but shall not be limited to the following factors:

Registration and payment of Idaho taxes or fees on a motor vehicle, mobile home, travel trailer, or other item of personal property for which state registration and the payment of a state tax or fee is required.

Filing of Idaho state income tax returns.

Permanent full-time employment or the hourly equivalent thereof in the state of Idaho.

Registration to vote for state elected officials in Idaho at a general election.

Residency decisions for fee payment purposes are made by the Admissions Office. Students may appeal through the Residency Appeals Committee at Idaho State University.

This notice provides for appeal from a final determination denying residency status in the following way:

Appeal may be initiated by the filing of an action in the District Court of Bannock County wherein Idaho State University is located; an appeal from the District Court shall lie as in all civil actions.

Normal Idaho residency requirements shall be in force for students who apply for some special graduate and professional programs. These include but are not limited to the Idaho Dental Education Program (IDEP), the WAMI (Washington, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) Regional Medical Education Program; the University of Utah College of Medicine; the WOI (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) Regional Program in Veterinary Medicine; the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Professional Student Exchange Programs (medicine, optometry and occupational therapy) and Graduate Education Program. NOTE: STUDENTS WHO INITIALLY ENROLL AT ISU AS NON-RESIDENTS AND LATER
WISH TO HAVE THEIR STATUS CHANGED TO RESIDENT MUST OBTAIN AN AFFIDAVIT FOR RESIDENCY FORM THROUGH THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE. IT MUST BE COMPLETED, NOTARIZED AND SUBMITTED TO THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE ALONG WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. IF APPROVED THE STUDENT'S STATUS IS CHANGED IN THE COMPUTER AND THE STUDENT IS BILLED AS A RESIDENT. NOTE: The burden of proof in requesting reclassification to resident
status rests with the individual in providing clear and convincing evidence of bonafide domicile in Idaho.

Non-Resident Tuition Waivers

Idaho State University Applications for Non-resident Tuition Waivers are available to students from the:

     Office of Registration and Records
     Idaho State University
     Box 8196
     Pocatello, Idaho 83209

Students from the states of Utah and Washington, by indicating such residency status on the application form, have an opportunity to apply for non-resident tuition waivers at Idaho State University under reciprocal agreements with these states. Time accrued while receiving a non-resident fee waiver will NOT contribute towards the length of time required for Idaho residency status.
