Overview
It is the policy of the board of regents
of the University System of Maryland (USM) to recognize
the categories of in-state and out-of-state students
for the purpose of admission, tuition and charge differentials
at those institutions where such differential has been
established. The complete University System of Maryland
Policy for Student Classification for Admission, Tuition
and Charge-Differential Purposes is available in the
Undergraduate
Catalog (Appendix II).
An initial determination of in-state
status for admission, tuition and charge-differential
purposes will be made at the time a student's application
for admission is under consideration. Students not entitled
to in-state status (under the University System of Maryland
Policy on Student Residency Classification for Admission,
Tuition and Charge-Differential Purposes – VIII-2.70)
will be assigned out-of-state status for admission,
tuition, and charge-differential purposes. Students
seeking to petition for in-state residency status must
submit a Petition
For Change in Residency Status form by
the last day of late registration for the semester for
which you are seeking in-state status.
Policy Update
UMBC, as part of the University System of Maryland (USM), has been
authorized by the USM Board of Regents to waive the 12-month residency
requirement for civilian employees and defense contractors transferred to
Maryland under the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC). The
waiver allows these categories of workers, as well as their spouses and
dependent children, to qualify for in-state tuition immediately upon their
transfer. In addition, this exception allows these categories to submit
adequate documentation of a BRAC-related transfer (from the Department of
Defense or the employee's military unit for the civilian employees, and from
their employers for the defense contractors) in lieu of documentation of the
criteria set forth in USM's standard policy on establishing residency.
