New Jersey Resident Tuition Requirement
In order to qualify for the New Jersey resident tuition rate, the student, if financially independent, or the parent or legal guardian on whom the student is financially dependent, must:
- Be a U.S. citizen or have permanent residency in the United States, and
- Have a bona fide domicile in the state of New Jersey for at least one year prior to the start of the semester. Students who do not fulfill the above requirements will be considered non-residents for tuition purposes and will be charged non-resident rates.
Students who hold temporary visas to the United States are considered to be New Jersey non-residents. The University reserves the right to require a student to prove New Jersey residency for a given semester.
