In the determination of the residence classification of any individual, recognition is to be given to the principle that domicile is not established by mere attendance at a college or university.

Classification of student residence for the assessment of tuition and other purposes will be made according to the following definitions:

1. Residence is defined as a person’s domicile, his/her true fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where he/she intends to remain, and to which he/she expects to return when he/she leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.

5. Changing residence status to in-state requires proof of Oregon residency that began at least 90 days prior to the beginning of classes;
6. Legal Guardian: A person who by court order has been appointed to act in the place of the parents of the student;
7. Emancipated student: A student who has attained the age of majority, or a student who is less than the age of majority, but who is financially and otherwise independent and whose domicile or home is maintained independent of his/her parents or legal guardian;
