State Reimbursement and Student Residency

“Permanent Residence” is defined as a person’s home, to which one intends to return after any absence and in which one’s dependents reside for an unlimited period of time. A permanent residence shall be verified by specific documentation. Such documentation may include, but is not limited to, copies of the Oregon Department of Revenue income tax statements; deeds, bills of sale or other papers indicating ownership by the student or a member of his or her family of the dwelling in which he or she resides; appropriate Department of Defense forms indicating that the student took residence in Oregon within one year of being released from active duty in the armed forces; possession of a driver’s license issued by the State of Oregon; and evidence indicating that a parent or guardian of a dependent student qualifies as an Oregon resident under this rule.(2)
“Oregon Resident” is defined as a person who currently maintains a permanent residence in the state and whose permanent residence has been maintained in Oregon for no less that ninety continuous days immediately preceding the person’s first instructional day of the term (quarter) for which residency is in question.(3)
Pursuant to ORS 341.492 (Residency for purpose of distribution of state aid), and notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, students who are residents of Idaho, Washington, California and Nevada and students admitted pursuant to ORS 351.647 shall be considered as residents of Oregon for the purpose of reimbursement.(4)
District policies regarding student residency for state reimbursement purposes may be subject to the periodic review and approval of the Commission. In the event that approval is not granted, the Commission may withhold reimbursement.
