Policy Regarding ResidencyClassification Of Students for Admission and Fee PurposesSection 2. Classification for Admission and Fee Purposes2.1 Students enrolling in a West Virginia public institution of higher education shallbe assigned a residency status for admission, tuition, and fee purposes by theinstitutional officer designated by the president. In determining residency classification,the issue is essentially one of domicile. In general, the domicile of a person is thatperson's true, fixed, permanent home and place of habitation. The decision shall bebased upon information furnished by the student and all other relevant information.The designated officer is authorized to require such written documents, affidavits,verifications, or other evidence as is deemed necessary to establish the domicile of astudent. The burden of establishing domicile for admission, tuition, and fee purposes isupon the student.2. 2 If there is a question as to domicile, the matter must be brought to theattention of the designated officer at least two weeks prior to the deadline for thepayment of tuition and fees. Any student found to have made a false or misleadingstatement concerning domicile shall be subject to institutional disciplinary action andwill be charged the nonresident fees for each academic term theretofore attended.2. 3 The previous determination of a student's domiciliary status by one institutionis not conclusive or binding when subsequently considered by another institution;however, assuming no change of facts, the prior judgment should be given strongconsideration in the interest of consistency. Out-of- state students being assessedresident tuition and fees as a result of a reciprocity agreement may not transfer saidreciprocity status to another public institution in West Virginia.Section 3.Residence Determined by Domicile3.1 Domicile within the State means adoption of the State as the fixedpermanent home and involves personal presence within the State with no intent on thepart of the applicant or, in the case of a dependent student, the applicant's parent(s) toreturn to another state or country. Residing with relatives (other than parent(s)/legalguardian) does not, in and of itself, cause the student to attain domicile in this State foradmission or fee payment purposes. West Virginia domicile may be established uponthe completion of at least twelve months of continued presence within the State prior tothe date of registration, provided that such twelve months' presence is not primarily forthe purpose of attendance at any institution of higher education in West Virginia.Establishment of West Virginia domicile with less than twelve months' presence priorto the date of registration must be supported by evidence of positive and unequivocalaction. In determining domicile, institutional officials should give consideration to suchfactors as the ownership or lease of a permanently occupied home in West Virginia,full-time employment within the State, paying West Virginia property tax, filing WestVirginia income tax returns, registering of motor vehicles in West Virginia, possessinga valid West Virginia driver's license, and marriage to a person already domiciled inWest Virginia. Proof of a number of these actions shall be considered only as evidencewhich may be used in determining whether or not a domicile has been established.Factors militating against the establishment of West Virginia domicile might includesuch considerations as the student not being self-supporting, being claimed as adependent on federal or state income tax returns or the parents' health insurancepolicy if the parents reside out of state, receiving financial assistance from statestudent aid programs in other states, and leaving the State when school is not insession.Section 4.Dependency Status4.1 A dependent student is one who is listed as a dependent on the federalor state income tax return of his/her parent(s) or legal guardian or who receives majorResidency Policy 51
