What is a nonresident undergraduate?

A nonresident undergraduate is a college or university student who does not reside in the state or region where their institution is located. Typically, these students are subject to higher tuition rates compared to resident students, as they do not meet the residency requirements set by the institution or state. Nonresident status can apply to both domestic students from other states and international students. This classification can affect financial aid eligibility, scholarships, and access to certain programs.
