2023-2024 Graduate Catalog

Change of Non-Resident Status

Students classified as non-residents subsequent to their first semester must complete a petition for New Jersey Resident Tuition Classification in order to change their non-residency status for tuition purposes. This petition must be filed prior to the start of the semester for which a change of residency is requested. Students will be expected to substantiate their request with sufficient proof that they qualify for New Jersey resident rates.

Students living in New Jersey for the sole purpose of obtaining their education are not eligible for resident rates. For a copy of the petition or for further information concerning New Jersey residency, contact the Office of the Registrar, 1st floor, Administration Building, or call (908) 737-3290. Kean Ocean students can contact the Kean Ocean Administrative Office, Gateway 103, 732-255-0356.
