In determining resident status, students are considered to be residents if they have lived in the state for one year prior to registration and also meet the requirements as outlined in chapter 28.15 RCW. Burden of proof of domicile rests with the student. The registrar will review the questionnaire and will notify the student in writing of the decision, which is subject to appeal. Students who are not residents of the state of Washington are subject to the current nonresident rate for tuition and fees.
