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.
