REGENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR GEORGIA RESIDENT STATUS
A person's legal residence is his or her dwelling place. It is the place where he or she is generally understood to reside
with the intent of remaining there indefinitely and returning there when absent. There must be a concurrence of actual
residence and of intent to remain to acquire a legal residence.
Students are responsible for registering under the correct residence classification, for notifying promptly the residence
auditor of incorrect residence classifications or changes of residence status, and will be liable for additional fees. For
example, residence status may change for students if their parents' states of legal residence change or if their visas change.
Individuals who are classified by Augusta State University as non-resident but who later claim to qualify as legal residents
must file a "Petition for Georgia Residence Classification" form with the residence auditor in the Office of the Registrar.
