Dear [first],

According to our records, you’re currently classified as a nonresident (out-of-state) for tuition purposes. As a graduate or law student, you may be eligible to petition for a change to resident (in-state) tuition classification for Summer 2027 if you movedÌýto Colorado on or before May 2, 2026,and you complete the required steps outlined below.

Domicile refers to your true, fixed and permanent home. Establishing domicile requires:

• Physical presence (living in Colorado)
• Severing legal ties to your previous stateÌý
• Establishing legal ties to Colorado in a timely manner after your moveÌý

Your Next Steps to Qualify for Summer 2027

If you moved to Colorado on or before May 2, 2026, and you plan to petition for in-state tuition for Summer 2027:

1. Establish Legal Ties to Colorado as Soon as Possible Obtain a Colorado driver’s license or state ID within 120 days of moving.
   Change your voter registration to Colorado if you are a registered voter.Ìý
   Register your vehicle in Colorado within 180 days of moving.Ìý
   File income taxes as a Colorado resident.

   We strongly encourage you to review ourÌýAdult Residency Petition Information,Ìýgraduate student video ²¹²Ô»åÌýgraduate student handout for full requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure all criteria are met.ÌýÌý

2. Submit Your Petition
   Submit your completed Adult Residency Petition between March 1, 2027 ²¹²Ô»åÌýApril 30, 2027Ìý(5 p.m.). Please mark this final deadline on your calendar.
   Failure to meet required steps or deadlines will result in denial of your petition, and you will continue to be assessed out-of-state tuition. Maintaining legal ties to another state will also result in denial.

If you moved after May 2, 2026, you may be eligible to petition for a change to resident classification for Fall 2027 or another future term. See our website for dates and deadlines related to other upcoming terms.

If you have questions about your individual situation, please contact the tuition classification office atÌýtuitclass@colorado.edu.

Important Considerations

• International students with student visas (e.g., F-1, F-2, H-3, J-1, M-1, M-2) generally do not qualify for in-state tuition and should contact our office before submitting a petition.
• WRGP participants should not change domicile or submit a petition. This program already provides reduced tuition for eligible students in select programs.
