Idaho Residency Requirements

When you are first admitted to Boise State, the university classifies you as either a resident student or a nonresident student, then uses this classification to determine your tuition and fees. It is your responsibility to apply for residency status.

For the purpose of calculating tuition and fees, your status is determined by your responses to several questions on your application for admission. In general, you are considered a resident of Idaho if you or at least one of your parents has resided in Idaho for 12 consecutive months before the first day of classroom instruction.

To appeal Boise State's decision to classify you as a nonresident student, obtain an appeal affidavit from the Administrative Services Office, Administration 304. Complete the form and submit it according to the instructions provided.
