Residency
Pennsylvania Classification
A student shall be classified as a Pennsylvania resident for tuition purposes if that student has a Pennsylvania domicile and that student's presence in Pennsylvania is not primarily for educational purposes.
Students must have the Penn State GlobalProtect VPN in order to securely upload documents for the Residency Review. Information and instructions on how to download GlobalProtect.
Veterans, military personnel, and other classes of members of qualifying Federal service, their spouses and dependents, may be eligible for in-state tuition regardless of residency status under state law or federal law. Information and a tutorial about residency reclassification can be found at Office of Veterans Programs website.
Please note: If you are a student that has already consulted with the Office of Veterans Programs to initiate the process and received confirmation to proceed with submitting your documentation, please proceed directly to the Residency Policy link as indicated above.
