Delaware residency

Student residency status is determined by the University. In general, to qualify as a Delaware resident for tuition purposes, a student must have been domiciled in Delaware for at least twelve consecutive full months as of the first day of classes in the semester or session for which the classification is sought. The student must also be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident (green) card holder.
