As part of the admission process, students are required to complete a USC Sumter Sate
Residency Form. The University of South Carolina Sumter assesses tuition and fees upon the
basis of state residency. South Carolina law defines residents as "persons who have been
domiciled in South Carolina for a period of no less than 12 months with an intention of
making a permanent home therein."
The initial resident status determination is made at the time of admission and prevails
until such time that a student establishes a proper claim to residency as defined by the
laws of South Carolina. Any student who is discovered to have been improperly classified
as a South Carolina resident will be reclassified as a non-resident and will be required
to pay differences in fees.
Persons having questions about residency are encouraged to contact the Admissions
Office.
Note: Active duty military and their dependents are considered residents for fee payment purposes.
