Article 3 Guidelines for the Determination of Residency for Fee Purposes

Kan. Admin. Regs. § 88-3-1 Student information

Whenever a question arises concerning a person's residence classification for fee purposes, that person shall be provided with a copy of information substantially as set forth in this regulation, together with K.A.R. 88-3-2 through 88-3-13.

"Carefully read the information, statute, and regulations that follow. Then, if you believe you should be eligible for resident classification for fee purposes, complete the attached application for residence classification and submit it to the registrar within 30 days of your notification of classification as a nonresident for fee purposes. When an appeal is made by a student from a determination that the student is a nonresident, the student must pay nonresident fees at the time designated for payment of fees. If the student is found to be a resident, the difference between resident and nonresident fees will be refunded. Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 77-601, et seq., decisions of the residence committee shall not be subject to further administrative review by any officer or committee of the university, or by the state board of regents.

Responsibility

The responsibility of enrolling under proper residence classification for fee purposes is placed on the student. If there is any possible question of residence classification under the regulations of the state board of regents, it is the duty of the student when registering and paying fees to raise the question with the registrar. If a student enrolls incorrectly as a resident of Kansas and it is determined at a later date the student was a nonresident for fee purposes, the student shall be required to pay the nonresident fee for all terms during which the student was incorrectly registered."

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the rules and regulations of the state board of regents, "residence" means a person's place of habitation, to which, whenever the person is absent, the person has the intention of returning. A person shall not be considered a resident of Kansas unless that person is in continuous physical residence, except for brief temporary absences, and intends to make Kansas a permanent home, not only while in attendance at an educational institution, but indefinitely thereafter as well.

(b) The factors that, while not conclusive, shall be given probative value in support of a claim for resident status include the following:

(1) Continuous presence in Kansas, except for brief temporary absences, during periods when not enrolled as a student;

(2) employment in Kansas;

(3) payment of Kansas state resident income taxes;

(4) reliance on Kansas sources for financial support;

(5) commitment to an education program that indicates an intent to remain permanently in Kansas;

(6) acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Kansas;

(7) admission to a licensed practicing profession in Kansas; or

(8) ownership of a home in Kansas.

No factor shall be considered in support of a claim for resident status unless the factor has existed for at least one year before enrollment or re-enrollment.

(c) The following circumstances, standing alone, ordinarily shall not constitute sufficient evidence of a change to Kansas residence:

(1) Voting or registration for voting in Kansas;

(2) employment in any position normally filled by a student;

(3) lease of living quarters in Kansas;

(4) a statement of intention to acquire residence in Kansas;

(5) residence in Kansas of the student's spouse;

(6) vehicle registration in Kansas;

(7) acquisition of a Kansas driver's license;

(8) payment of Kansas personal property taxes; or

(9) continuous enrollment in a postsecondary educational institution in Kansas.

(d) If a person is continuously enrolled for a full academic program as defined by the institution where enrolled, it shall be presumed that the student is in Kansas for educational purposes, and the burden shall be on the student to prove otherwise.

(e) Maintenance of ties with another state or country, including financial support, voting, payment of personal property taxes, registering a vehicle or securing a driver's license in that state or country, may be considered sufficient evidence that residence in the other state or country has been retained.

(3) The admission officer shall consider the applicant's best ACT-issued composite score or superscore for admission decisions.

(4) If an applicant has taken both the ACT and the SAT, the admission officer shall consider the applicant's better score on the two tests for admission decisions.

(b) If the high school has not already calculated the applicant's final cumulative grade point average and provided that information on the official high school transcript, each admission officer at a state educational institution shall calculate the grade point average for any applicant seeking admission pursuant to K.A.R. 88-29c-5 or 88-29c-7, as follows:

(1) The admission officer shall calculate a grade point average only for courses appearing on the official high school transcript.

Pluses and minuses shall not be considered in the calculation.

(B) If the high school transcript reports grades on a scale other than a four-point scale, the admission officer shall mathematically convert the grades to a four-point scale and assign points as described in paragraph (b)(2)(A).

(3) The admission officer shall consider grades of P or pass as follows:

(A) If the high school transcript indicates that a P is equivalent to a grade of D or higher, the admission officer shall assign one grade point to each grade of P.

(B) If the high school transcript indicates that a P is equivalent to a grade of C or higher, the admission officer shall assign two grade points to each grade of P.

(C) If the high school transcript does not indicate the minimum letter grade corresponding to a P, the admission officer shall assign one grade point to each grade of P.

(4) If an applicant has retaken a course, the admission officer shall use the highest grade when calculating the grade point average.

(5) If an applicant has taken a college course and if this college course appears on the applicant's official high school transcript, the admission officer shall calculate the grade for the college course, for purposes of determining the grade point average, as follows:

(A) Each college course with three or more credit hours, but no more than five credit hours, shall be treated as a one-unit high school course.

(B) Each college course with more than five credit hours shall be treated as a two-unit high school course.
