居住条例

大峡谷州立大学 requires a minimum six month domicile in the state of 密歇根 for consideration of residency.

Because students normally come to 大峡谷州立大学 for the primary or sole purpose of attending the institution rather than establishing a domicile in 密歇根, those who enroll in Grand Valley as non-residents will continue to be classified throughout their attendance as students unless and until they demonstrate that their previous domicile has been abandoned and a 密歇根 domicile established.

• A dependent student’s residency typically follows that of their parents and is not eligible for residency status.

  7. has legal dependents other than a spouse; or
  8. presents to the student financial aid administrator documentation of other unusual circumstances demonstrating independence.

• The residence of a student who otherwise would be classified as a nonresident will follow that of his or her spouse if the spouse is classified as a resident, after the student has met the six month domicile requirement.
   
• 非你.S. citizens who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States shall not, 仅仅因为这个地位, be disqualified from classification or reclassification as a resident. 然而，非U.S. citizens who are present in the United States on a temporary or student visa shall not be eligible for classification or reclassification as residents.

  3. Payment of 密歇根 income or property taxes
  4. A statement of intention to acquire a domicile in 密歇根
