Make sure your residency and citizenship are correct
Residency classification
When you're admitted to IU, you're classified as a resident or a nonresident based on information you provided when you applied. Your residency classification affects your tuition rates. You can apply for residency reclassification by completing the Application for Classification as a Resident Student for Fee Paying Purposes.

Citizenship
You’ll need to verify your citizenship to be eligible for in-state tuition rates as well as scholarships, grants, assistantships, or other aid funded through IU. Log into One.IU and go to Citizenship Verification.
If you’re unable to verify that you’re lawfully residing in the United States, your residency status will be changed to nonresident, and your university financial aid will be removed.
Your residency and aid will be unaffected if:
- You’re a U.S. citizen
- You’re a permanent resident, asylee, or refugee
- You live outside the United States and will complete your program while residing abroad
- You’re a foreign national with a valid U.S. visa or immigration status
Why do we require this information?
Indiana law (IC 21-14-11) prohibits us from offering resident tuition rates or university-funded aid to anyone who isn’t in the United States legally.
