Central Michigan University has a commitment to the resident
taxpayers of the State of Michigan to provide educational
opportunity at lower tuition rates than those charged to
non-residents. Therefore, there are two general tuition rates, one
for Michigan residents and a higher one for non-residents.
For the purposes of determining resident status by CMU, “domicile:
is defined as the place where an individual intends his/her true,
fixed and permanent home and principal establishment to be, and to
which the individual intends to return whenever he or she is absent.
This policy is designed to explain how a student may demonstrate the
required intent and establishment of a domicile in Michigan. An
individual whose activities and circumstances, as documented to the
University, demonstrate that he or she has established a domicile in
Michigan and intends to be domiciled in Michigan will be eligible
for classification as a resident. An individual whose presence in
the state is based on activities or circumstances that are
indeterminate or temporary, such as (but not limited to) educational
pursuits, will be presumed not to be domiciled in Michigan. The
burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate with clear and
convincing evidence that he or she is eligible for resident
classification under this policy. To overcome a presumption of
non-resident status, a student must file a properly completed
Application for Resident Status and document with clear and
convincing evidence that a Michigan domicile has been established.
Furthermore, the University reserves the right to audit enrolled or
prospective students at any time with regard to eligibility for
resident classification and to reclassify students who are
registered under an improper resident status.
