Legal Question in Education Law in Michigan

state residency

I moved to MI one year ago to go to school. I had financial troubles and couldn't attend. I will be attending classes this winter. Do I need to change my state of residency to MI?

Re: state residency

Check with your university to see what the residency requirements are to qualify for the lower "residents" tuition rate. It can be considerably less than for out-of-state students. In some states, merely moving to a state in order to attend school does not demonstrate sufficient intent to qualify as a resident. Often other indicia of residency are needed, e.g., working in the state, getting a driver's license, etc. Good luck.
