The Director of Admissions assigns every student enrolling at WVU a residency status for admission, tuition, and fee purposes. Students may apply for reclassification if they have a strong, well-documented case for having their residency status changed.

To learn what is required to establish West Virginia residency, please refer to the Board of Governors Academics Rule 2.4 - Residency Status for Admission, Tuition, and Fee Purposes.
