UCA Board Policy 700 – Student Residency Regulations 

Residency Reclassification Regulations

If you live on campus in a UCA residence hall or a UCA apartment which are: Bear Village, Donaghey Hall, Erbach, Georgetown, Oak Tree, Stadium Park, Torreyson and Western Heights apartments. This includes UCA leased sorority houses.

At this time, students wishing to live in a fraternity house will have to apply and submit all documentation to become an Arkansas resident to not pay out-of-state tuition. Fraternity houses are not considered any part of UCA Housing.

As you are a resident of UCA Housing, there is no need to complete an application for residency reclassification. An out-of-state tuition waiver will be applied through a collaboration between UCA Housing and Student Accounts. Please visit the Student Accounts office for more information on when that waiver will be applied.

In-state tuition is given to students who are UCA graduates (Associate, Bachelor, or Graduate degree) or a child/grandchild, age 26 or under, of UCA graduates (Associate, Bachelor, or Graduate degree) who are dues-paying members of the UCA Alumni Association. This waiver is applied by Student Accounts after joining the Alumni Association and completing the Out-of-State Tuition Waiver Validation Form found at the link below. To continue receiving the waiver throughout the student’s enrollment at UCA, the member must submit the “Out-of-State Tuition Waiver Validation Form” for each semester enrolled.
Out-of-State Tuition Waiver Validation Form

A student who is a veteran, dependent of a veteran, member of the armed forces, spouse of a member of the armed forces, or a dependent of a member of the armed forces stationed in the state of Arkansas pursuant to military orders, shall be entitled to classification as in-state students for fee paying purposes. To qualify, you must complete the residency reclassification form above and upload a copy of your military orders.

A student who is a full-time graduate assistant is eligible to receive in-state tuition. The Graduate School will work directly with Student Accounts to apply the out-of-state fee waiver after the GA hiring process is complete. No action is needed by the GA in order to receive in-state tuition. You do not need to complete the residency reclassification form.
