Determination of Residency for Tuition Purposes

An initial determination of in-state or out-of-state status for tuition purposes is made when a student applies for admission. The determination made at that time remains in effect thereafter unless it is successfully challenged. The student is responsible for providing the information necessary to establish eligibility for in-state status. Official criteria for determining residency are in University Policies.

Information on tuition and fees is updated each semester.

Readmission

Students who have not enrolled in graduate classes at UMUC for more than a year must complete a new application for admission and pay another application fee.

Restrictions

Students may be admitted to only one institution in the University System of Maryland at any one time. Students may be admitted as either graduates or undergraduates, but no one may hold both classifications simultaneously. A student's most recent application for admission invalidates any previous admission.

Students may be admitted to only one graduate program at any time. Application for admission to a second graduate program is not permitted until notification of resignation has been presented to the first program. Students admitted to any other graduate program in the University System of Maryland must notify UMUC. Students retain active status for one year (three consecutive semesters) even without being registered in the program. However, after one year without a completed graduate course, students must submit a new application along with another application fee.

Note: Graduate students may take both graduate and undergraduate courses concurrently.
