____________
year
This petition is used by continuing students who have attended and paid non-resident tuition during the past
three semesters, students who were emancipated prior to turning 23 years old, students who did not submit
the In-State Correction Form by the published deadline in the current term schedule, or students who were
asked by the Tuition Classification Officer at MSU Denver to complete this form. This form must be submitted
by the published deadline for determination. The deadline for the Petition for in-State Tuition is 30-days after
the first day of the semester. University published deadlines are listed on the Academic Calendar as well as the
Residency page of the website. Failure to do so will result in non-resident tuition without the right to appeal.
The Col
orado tuition law requires students to show clearly and convincingly that they qualify for in-state status. The
student is responsible to provide any information and documentation necessary for MSU Denver to determine eligibility
for in-state tuition classification. More information can be found on our website:
www.msudenver.edu/admissions/residency
.
Students must be able to prove that their Colorado domicile began no later than 12 months preceding the start of
classes for the semester that they are requesting in-state tuition classification. The University’s determination of
domicile for tuition purposes will be made on the basis of written information and supportive documentation supplied
with this Petition. Failure to include any required document or answer any question by the deadline may render the
petition invalid.
If false information or any falsified supporting document is included in this petition, the petition will be void and any
determination of in-state classification based on the Petition will be nullified. Documents become the property of MSU
Denver and will not be returned. Petitions will be digitally stored to the student’s file and all original documents will be
shredded.
Please refer to the MSU Denver website for tuition payment deadlines. Students who are classified as non-resident for
tuition purposes will be subject to the non-resident tuition and fees. The University will send status notifications on any
decision or any request for additional information to the student’s MSU Denver email.
