Regulations F o r the purpose of these regulations an "adult" student is considered a male student twenty-one years of age or over, or a female student eighteen years of age or over; a "minor" student is a male student under twenty-one years of age or a female student under eighteen years of age; and the term "the State" means the state of Illinois. The words "he" or "his" also apply to a female student unless otherwise stated or clearly indicated. 1. Evidence upon the basis of which the legal residence of each applicant for admission to the University as a student can be determined shall be submitted to the Dean of Admissions and Records at the time of application for admission, and either the resident or nonresident student fees shall be assessed, as applicable, on the basis of the evidence appearing in the records of his office. 2. In all cases where said records establish that the student's legal residence is not in the State the nonresident fee shall be assessed. A student who takes exception to the ruling that the nonresident fee is payable shall pay that fee, but may file a claim in writing for a refund of the portion thereof in excess of the resident fee within thirty days from the date designated in the official University calendar as that upon which instruction begins for the academic period for which the fee is payable, provided, however, that, if the nonresident fee was not assessed on or prior to that date, the claim for refund may be filed within thirty days after the nonresident fee was assessed and the student was given notice o'f its assessment. If such claim for refund is not filed within said thirtyday period, the student loses all rights to a refund of any portion of the fee assessed for the academic period for which said fee is payable. 3. T h e legal residence of a minor student shall be considered to be, and to change with and follow: a. T h a t of his parents, if they are living together, or living parent, if one is dead; or b. If the parents are separated or divorced, that of the parent to whom the custody of the minor has been awarded by judicial decree or order, or, in the absence of such a judicial decree or order, that of the father unless the minor has continuously resided with the mother for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding his registration at the University, in which latter event his legal residence shall be considered to be that of his m o t h e r ; or c. That of the adoptive parents, if the minor has been legally adopted and without regard to whether the natural parents or one of them is living, and, in the event the adoptive parents become divorced or separated, that of the adoptive parent whose residence would govern under the foregoing rules if that parent had been a natural parent; or d. That of the legally appointed and qualified guardian of the minor's person if such a guardian has been appointed and both parents are deceased, or both parents (or the surviving parent if only one is living) have abandoned the minor or have been adjudicated to be incompetent or to be unfit to have the custody of the minor; or e. T h a t of a "natural" guardian, such as a grandparent, adult brother or adult sister, adult uncle or adult aunt, or other adult relative with whom the minor has resided for a period of at least twelve months immediately prior to his registration at the University and by whom the minor is being supported if the minor's parents are dead or have abandoned the minor and if no legal guardian of the minor's person has been appointed and qualified. 4. No parent or guardian will be considered a resident of the State of Illinois unless he ( a ) maintains a bona fide and permanent place of abode within this State, and (b) lives, except when temporarily absent from the State with no intention of changing his legal residence to some other state or country, within the State. 5. If a minor has been emancipated, is completely self-supporting, and actually resides in the State, he shall be considered to be a resident of the State for the purpose of registration in the University and the assessment of student fees, even though his parents or guardian may reside outside the State. An emancipated minor who is completely self-supporting shall be considered to "actually reside in the State of Illinois" if he has maintained a dwelling place within the State uninterruptedly for a period of at least twelve consecutive
