All determinations concerning the classification of students as in-state or out-of-state for fee purposes are made in the Admissions Office. The determinations are based on regulations and guidelines of the Tennessee Board of Regents (see below). If, for any reason, there is a question about a student’s state residency classification for fee payment purposes, the student is responsible for requesting a review of his/her residency status before classes begin. Requests for review should be made to the Admissions Office.
