Residency

UConn School of Law is a public institution that offers a significant tuition reduction for Connecticut residents and a discount for students from the New England Compact states of Vermont and Rhode Island. Residency for purposes of tuition charges is governed by Sections 10a-28 to 10a-30 of the Connecticut General Statues, which state that any student who was classified as an out-of-state resident upon entry may petition to change that classification one year after establishing residence in Connecticut.

Students admitted to the UConn School of Law as in-state residents do not need to reapply each year thereafter. Students who applied as out-of-state residents, or who were denied in-state residency status on admission, may apply for residency after their first academic year as a UConn Law student. The Admissions Office oversees the Connecticut residency process and will send notification of the residency application process to students during the fall semester.

For more information on obtaining designation as a Connecticut resident, please review the Residency Application as well as the Connecticut General Statutes governing residency. The residency application requires a signature before a notary public. If you have additional questions or concerns please contact the Admissions Office at (860) 570-5100.
