RESIDENCY POLICY (excerpts)
The following information is for general information only and is not meant to be anything other than an example of the governing documents pertaining to the establishment of Kentucky residency. This does not supplant the legal document that details the exact nature of residency which can be found at: http://www.cpe.state.ky.us/policies/ policies_student_residency.asp.

The State of Kentucky will assume you are NOT a resident if:

  1. You had an out-of-state address on your application for admission;
  2. You moved into Kentucky primarily to enroll in the university;
  3. You moved into Kentucky and within 12 months of that move you have enrolled at a Kentucky institution for more than the number of hours considered half-time;
  4. You have been in continuous absence from the state for one year.

Documents that you can have to prove residency:

  1. accepted a full-time job or transfer to an employer in Kentucky,
    Greater Cincinnati, or nearby Indiana while moving your domicile
    into the state of Kentucky;
  2. lived in Kentucky continuously as a non-student for 12 months
    before the semester in which you plan to enroll;
  3. an income tax form that shows a change of address or the payment of Kentucky withholding taxes for the calendar year;
  4. been employed full-time for 1 year while living in Kentucky;
  5. obtained a professional license or certification in Kentucky;
  6. paid real property taxes in Kentucky;
  7. owned real property that was used by you as a residence before
    the date of application for a determination of residency status;
  8. a long term lease of at least 12 consecutive months of non-collegiate housing;
  9. married a Kentucky resident;
  10. continued presence in Kentucky during academic breaks; and,
  11. a certain level of dependency on student financial aid in order to
    provide basic sustenance.
