Snow College's Residency Policy permits students to appeal the College's decisions relating to Residency to classify a student as a nonresident. A student may appeal (1) the initial determination made during the admission's process, and (2) the Registrar's decision to deny any residency (e.g. Residency Application, HB144, Military Exemption). Any appeal must be based on Snow College's Residency Policy, the Board of Regents residency policy (R512), or on Utah Code Annotated § 53B-8-102. When writing your letter of appeal, it is imperative that you provide the section in the policy that supports your position.
The following are specific instructions for the two types of appeals.
Read both Snow College's Residency Policy and the Board of Regents policy (R512);
Fill out Snow College's Residency Application;
Collect the required "objective evidence," as defined in Snow College's policy; and
Submit the application and the evidence to the Registrar's Office by the end of the third week of the semester.
