More About Oregon's Residency Requirements
More Common Examples of Residency Cases
7. A non-resident student marries an Oregon resident, and then applies for in-state residency.
Marrying an Oregon resident in no way affects residency status. This person must qualify solely on his own merits.
8. A person applies for residency but has little if any documentation. He has been camping, bunking with friends and just hanging out. He does odd jobs for "under the table" money. He may or may not have an Oregon driver’s license or ID card. May only have an Oregon Health Plan card.
Residency rules are not intended to penalize someone if the person is homeless. But, the person must provide sufficient documentation to substantiate being in Oregon for at least 12 months.
9. A young woman moves to Oregon to live with her significant other. She immediately begins going to college and, a year later, applies for residency.
As with a married person this young woman would need to establish residency on her own.
10. A student graduates from a CA high school and then moves to Oregon and attends RCC. A year later, the student applies to SOU and asks for residency.
Oregon community colleges grant residency for their purposes once the person has been in the state for 90 days. This student would not be a ‘resident" for the purpose of attending SOU or another Oregon University System institution unless he meets the requirements given above.
11. Young woman attends SOU as a non-resident, graduates, obtains employment within Oregon and, several years later, applies to an SOU graduate program.
This student is now a resident, but since she attended SOU as a non-resident, she must apply for and document her claim to residency.
12. A family that has always lived in Oregon moves to another state, leaving behind the oldest child who has 1 more year before graduating from high school. The student lives with the family of a friend. He applies to SOU as a resident.
This student is a resident, despite the fact that his family (his source of financial support) leaves the state. This is so because of his long-established ties to the state. This is a new principle based on a recent case.
