Residency Appeals

KBOR Regulation 88-2-2 and 88-2-3

Students who are denied the classification of Kansas resident for tuition purposes have the right to appeal.  The appeal must be based upon new information that was not made available during the request for initial classification or a petition for reclassification.  Students must submit the Appeal to K-State Out-of-State Fee Appeals Committee form along with any additional supporting documenation within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the initial classification or reclassification decision.  The Committee will review ALL information and documentation submitted with the Appeal, as well as previously submitted documents and related information in the student's academic record.

Additional information regarding initial classification or reclassification criteria may be found on the Residency site or in the Guidelines for Residency Classificaton for Tuition Purposes.  Not submitted supportive documentation or new information will delay your review.  Continuing students that have not first done the Application for Resident Tuition (Reclassification), should refer to this process first before submitting an appeal.  The Reclassification of Appeal process implies you have been denied in the first classification or reclassification request.

The University Out-of-State Fee Appeals Committee is designated to review residency decisions - not the initial classification or reclassification process nor associated deadlines.  These areas of the Residency classification or reclassification proces may not be appealed.  All appeals will be reviewed by the University Out-of-State Fee Appeals Board, students will be notified of the committee decision in writing and ALL Committee decisions are considered final.

The University Out-of-State Fee Appeals Board meets as needed.

Appeals should be submitted as follows:
