Alabama residency
For the purpose of determining undergraduate tuition, applicants are classified as in-state (Alabama) and out-of-state (non-Alabama) students.  Residency for a student age 18 and younger is considered the same as that of the supporting parent(s) or legal guardian.  A student age 19 or older may be considered for in-state classification by providing reasonable and expected confirmation of having established residence in Alabama for one year (12 months) preceding the request for reclassification.

Information regarding student classification for payment of undergraduate tuition is available at the Office of Admissions in Palmer Hall or contact the Office of Admissions.
