Frequently Asked Questions

• You may complete a residency application and provide required documentation to the Residency Officer in the Admissions Office. You may obtain an application in the office or download it from this web site. This application will then be reviewed for compliance with Utah Code and the Utah State Board of Regents Policy & Procedures. **Do not fill out the Admissions & Utah Residency Petition form unless you have submitted a residency application and your request was denied.**

I have been out of the state for a few years for military or religious service. Can I still be classified as a resident?

• For religious service, the admissions application includes a residency question where you can tell us you were involved in religious service.  If you answer that question you should not need to fill out a residency application.
• You may be eligible for Utah residency if you have been absent from Utah for religious or military service.  Fill out the residency application, claiming residency under Provision 2 of the residency law.  Be sure to provide the supporting document requested.
