Hawai`i Residency Requirements

ESTABLISHING RESIDENCY IN THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI FOR TUITION PURPOSES

The University of Hawaiʻi, like all public institutions of higher learning, has residency requirements for payment of resident tuition. Similar to those in other states, these requirements are complex. Consequently, 申请毛伊大学学院的学生经常会有关于他们的居留身份的问题，因为它适用于学费.

本页面旨在帮助您了解夏威夷大学的居住规定，并回答您可能遇到的问题. The information provided is not a complete explanation of residency laws and regulations. Furthermore, residency rules may change as a result of legislation or administrative action. 夏威夷大学所有校区的住院医师都有关于住院医师各个方面的最新信息.

Detailed information is available in Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules Title 20, Chapter 4: Determination of Residency as Applied to Tuition and Admission (PDF).

For further clarification, call 808-984-3267 or 1-800-479-6692 and ask to speak to a residency advisor.

To qualify for resident tuition, 你必须在你想要获得居民学费的学期之前，在夏威夷居住至少一个日历年(365天). This applies to adults 18 years of age or older. If you are a minor (under 18 years of age), 您的父母或法院指定的监护人必须是该日历年的真正居民.

In addition, whether you are an adult or minor, 如果您的父母或法院指定的监护人不是夏威夷的合法居民，那么您在相关日历年度内不得被申报为受抚养人.

Intent for resident tuition purposes is based not on your future actions, but on what you have done in the immediate past (i.e., prior to the semester for which you want resident tuition status). The following documents may be required to help determine resident tuition:

State of Hawaiʻi personal income tax, filing as a resident (required in all cases)
State of Hawaiʻi Voter Certificate
State of Hawaiʻi General Excise License
Employment verification
Bank account active in Hawaiʻi
Lease agreement
Proof of property ownership
Other documents as needed

You may also submit any other evidence you wish to have considered. Not all documents are required, as one may be substituted for another. 请致电808-984-3267或1-800-479-6692，并要求住院医师顾问讨论您的具体情况.

Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Regents, in order to be considered a resident for tuition purposes, you must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident for one calendar year (365 days). 那些无证件和童年入境延期行动(DACA)的人有资格获得居民学费身份. Complete the Undocumented Student Residency Tuition Request Form [PDF] and submit to the Office of Admissions for review.

You cannot maintain domicile in Hawaiʻi and another place simultaneously. In other words, 如果你同时在其他地方保持住所，你就不能成为夏威夷的真正居民.

一个日历年的“时钟”从你采取第一个行动表明你打算让夏威夷成为你的永久居住地开始.e., start employment, register to vote, purchase property, or get a general excise license).

You cannot establish residency by simply enrolling in school. If you are a nonresident student, 假定你住在夏威夷主要是为了上学，即使你在假期和其他学习休息时间住在夏威夷，你的存在也是暂时的.

Yes, 夏威夷州法律承认几类允许支付居民学费的非居民学生:

United States military personnel, their spouses, 及其授权受养人(不超过23岁)在该军事人员驻夏威夷现役期间
Members of the Hawaiʻi National Guard or Hawaiʻi-based Reserve who are under contract in Hawaiʻi
Certain employees of the University of Hawaiʻi, their spouses, and dependents
在夏威夷大学攻读学士学位或高级学位的东西方中心学生
Native Hawaiians, 居住在夏威夷群岛并于1778年在夏威夷群岛行使主权的土著居民的后裔

In addition, 夏威夷大学还允许某些没有授予学士学位的公共机构的太平洋岛屿的公民支付150%的居民学费。

夏威夷大学夏威夷分校的每个校区都有一名居住官，负责监督该校区所有学生的居住和非居民身份. All residency decisions are based on Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules Title 20, Chapter 4: Determination of Residency as Applied to Tuition and Admission. If the residency process seems rigorous and detailed, it is because, by law, Residency Officers must be precise in determining each student’s residency status.

If possible, call 808-984-3267 or 1-800-479-6692 and ask for a residency advisor before you arrive in Hawaiʻi. There is a time sensitive component to the establishing of residency process. 这个时间敏感的部分将决定你最早有资格获得住校学费的学期.
If possible, physically visit with a residency advisor. The residency advisor offers a checklist for you to follow when you are establishing residency. Based on your discussion, the checklist will be marked specifically to your situation.
Do not deviate from what you have discussed with the residency advisor. One change could affect your eligibility for resident tuition status. If you do deviate from what has been discussed, 尽快联系住院医师顾问，看看这将如何影响你的住院医师学费资格.
Contact a residency advisor by phone before you turn in your documents to establish residency. By doing so, 住院医师顾问可以确定你是否有资格获得住院医师学费，或者你是否缺少文件。. 住院医师顾问想让这个过程对你来说更容易，如果你没有所有必要的住院医师学费状态的文件，你不想把你拒之门外.
Make copies of everything that will be turned in to the residency advisor. 带上原件和复印件，住院医师顾问将决定他/她将保留什么作为他/她的记录.
