REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCY STATUS (10) Certain revisions of the "Regulations Governing Assessment of Resident or Nonresident Student Fees," as approved by the Board of Trustees on December 17, 1957 (minutes, pages 1009-1012) and amended on February 21, 1962 (minutes, pages 1301-1302), are recommended by the Director of the University Office of School and College Relations and the Directors of Admissions and Records on the three campuses, to be effective September 1,1970. The changes involve condensation, rewording, and reorganization of the current regulations, in order to simplify and clarify them — in addition to the following substantive changes: 1. Revision of the title to read: "Regulations Governing the Determination of Residency Status for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition" — thus establishing that the regulations are used to determine residency for purposes of admission as well as for the assessment of student tuition (as currently used). 2. Change of the title "Dean of Admissions and Records" to "Director of Admissions and Records" — in conformance with current University Statutes. 3. Establishment of rules for adjustment of tuition assessment in the event of errors in classification. 4. Elimination of reference to self-support and parental control as criteria for establishing residency for an adult student. 5. Addition of active military service as a condition effecting the emancipation of minors. 6. Giving to emancipated minors the same residence privileges as adults. 7. Providing the same residence privileges for husband and wife and eliminating the requirement that spouses be living together to obtain residence privileges. 8. Substitution of "resident immigrant status with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service" as a condition of residency in lieu of filing a Declaration of Intention to become a citizen. 9. Addition of a section concerning residency status of minor children of parents transferred outside the United States, in accordance with recently enacted state law. 10. Classification of the following as residents: staff members of the University and of allied agencies; faculties of state-supported institutions of higher education in Illinois and their spouses and dependent children (currently, these persons receive waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition). The Executive Vice President and Provost, the Vice President and Comptroller, the University Counsel, and the three Chancellors concur in these recommendations. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

CHANGE IN STUDENT NONREFUNDABLE CHARGES, URBANA (11) T h e Committee on Fees 1 recommends an increase in the nonrefundable charge to students who withdraw from the University at Urbana-Champaign from $38 to $47 for each semester or twelve-week term and from $28 to $33 for each eightweek session. T h e proposed increase would assure adequate coverage for the building commitments for the Intramural-Physical Education Building and the Women's Gymnasium addition. The Committee further recommends that the increase become effective September, 1971, to allow time for announcement in the Urbana-Champaign Undergraduate Study and Graduate College catalogs. (On July 24, 1968, the Board of Trustees approved an $18 student service charge for use of the Intramural-Physical Education Building and the Women's Gymnasium addition projects. T h e $18 increase in the service fee will be assessed beginning February, 1971, subject to substantial completion and occupation of the Intramural-Physical Education Building.) No change in the nonrefundable charge is presently contemplated at either of
