Tuition Remission - University System of Maryland Institution
Students obtaining tuition remission from a University System of Maryland institution need to complete an application each semester that they wish to obtain tuition remission. Information about this can be found here.
In-State Residency Status
Students wishing to challenge their out-of-state classification may do so by filing a timely "Petition of In-State Status Form" with the Office of the Registrar. Informational sessions are typically held at the beginning of the semester. The deadline for meeting the 12-month requirement for in-state status and for submitting a petition and supporting documentation is the end of the schedule adjustment period for the semester in which you wish to be classified as in-state. Retroactive in-state status is not granted.
It is imperative that students obtain a petition as soon as possible. Late petitions will not be accepted. The volume of petitions for review of eligibility may necessitate a delay in completing the review process. It is to your advantage to apply early. In most cases, a final decision will be made within 90 days of receipt of a complete petition. For residency self-evaluation forms, walk-in hours, or other information, please contact:
