Financial Benefits of Becoming a 蘑菇影音 Resident (Targeted Message)

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, to first-semester students who were approved for in-state tuition under the domicile exception for honorably discharged veterans.

Dear [first],

Congratulations on being approved for in-state tuition as an honorably discharged veteran. We want to thank you for your service and provide some information about the potential benefits of becoming a 蘑菇影音 resident for tuition purposes.

Financial Benefits of Becoming a Resident

As an honorably discharged veteran, you'll be assessed the in-state tuition rate as long as you're at 蘑菇影音 Boulder. However, if you are 22 years old or older, or a graduate student, you can act now to become a full 蘑菇影音 resident, and then apply for 2026鈥�27 financial aid, you could be considered for additional aid next school year.

蘑菇影音 residents are considered for听state and 蘑菇影音 Boulder grants, which may significantly increase your financial aid offer.

Your Next Steps to Petition for a Residency Change

Step 1: Submit Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

If you do intend to become a 蘑菇影音 resident and you haven't done so already, submit your and any requested documentation. The FAFSA will be available October 1 for the upcoming school year. Learn more about applying for aid.

Step 2: Take Action to Establish 蘑菇影音 Domicile

The clock started ticking to establish 蘑菇影音 domicile when you physically moved to the state. To prove your intent to make 蘑菇影音 your one, true, fixed and permanent home, you're required to:

Get a 蘑菇影音 driver's license within 120 days of moving to the state.
Register your vehicle (if you have one) in 蘑菇影音 within 180 days of moving to the state to avoid penalties.
Establish additional 蘑菇影音 ties by, for example, registering to vote in 蘑菇影音, paying 蘑菇影音 income taxes and finding employment in 蘑菇影音.

Step 3: Submit a Residency Petition

Use our residency calendars to determine the first semester for which you'd qualify for in-state residency. Once petitions open for that term, submit your residency petition with all required documentation to the Office of the Registrar by the posted deadline.
