住院医生实习期 Information

An individual must establish legal residency in New Mexico before he or she is entitled to pay in-state tuition rates.

The New Mexico Department of Higher Education establishes residency requirements for tuition purposes (view their page 在这里). These requirements apply to US citizens and those who have applied for or received Permanent Resident status (see additional information on non-citizens below).

A student is classified as a resident or non-resident for tuition purposes based on information supplied on the admissions application.

• 12 Months Consecutive Residence

A student must physically reside in New Mexico for 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the term for which classification is requested.

Note: A student must be at least 19 years old to establish residency apart from parents 或监护人.

• Financial Independence

A student cannot be approved for residency, when they are financially dependent upon their parents or legal guardians who are non-residents of New Mexico.

A minor's residence is presumed to be the same as his/her parents' or legal guardian's.

• Written Declaration of Intent

This declaration of intent is included on the Petition for In-State 住院医生实习期 Form.

• 公开的行为

• Copy of parents 或监护人' previous year federal income tax (only if applicant is financially dependent)
• NM high school transcript confirming attendance within the past 12 months
• NM drivers license or ID card issued 之前 to the first day of the term
• Proof of payment of NM state income tax for the previous year
• Evidence of employment in NM
• NM vehicle registration issued 之前 to the first day of the term
• NM voter registration issued 之前 to the first day of the term

How do I petition for New Mexico residency for tuition purposes?

Students who would like to petition to change their residency classification should complete the Petition for In-State Tuition Classification. Once the petition form is completed, it needs to be submitted to the 火博体育官网 Registrar's Office.

The deadline to file a residency petition is the Friday 之前 to the beginning of each 学期. Once the 学期 has begun, residency classification can not be changed for that 学期.

What if I am a non-US citizen?

Non-citizens who are lawfully in the United States and have applied for or obtained permanent status from the United States Citizenship and Immigration 服务 , or non-citizens who serve on active duty in the armed forces of the United States, may establish residency by meeting the durational and intent requirements.

Any non-citizens on other visas (student, diplomatic, visitor or visiting scholar visa, including spouses and dependents) are non-residents for tuition purposes.

Any person who attended high school in New Mexico for at least one year and received a High School diploma or High School Equivalency Credential such as a GED from a NM institution regardless of immigration status may establish residency.
