Admissions
Oregon Residency
"Residency" at SOU is a status that allows a student to pay in-state tuition. The non-resident tuition rate is about $12,000 per year more than resident tuition.
A critical issue in determining that an individual is a "resident" of Oregon is "intent." Intent is determined through examination of specific documents.
