Understand Residency Status and Its Impact

Residency status classifies a student as in-state, out-of-state, or international based on rules set by the institution or state. It's crucial because it directly affects tuition costs, eligibility for benefits (such as scholarships or fee waivers) and ensures compliance with state and federal regulations while promoting fairness across students.

As an administrator or a registrar, you assign the residency status during the enrolment and registration process. You can review documentation, apply residency rules, and update records in Student Management Cloud to ensure students are assigned the correct status for accurate tuition billing and compliance tracking.
