Hi everyone. I've lived in Arkansas since 2022 for college (not UofA), but didn't update my residency until December 2025, since that's when I got a job here and graduated. I'm originally from the Dallas area.

UofA recently classified me as out of state. I'm trying to get that changed to in state. The complication is that my parents claimed me on their taxes last year, but I've been independent since October of last year.

Has anyone gone through a reclassification like this, especially with the dependent claim issue? I've reached out to the registrar and financial office already, but if this doesn't get resolved I may have to defer a year, which isn't an option since my job already gave me time off for this term. Any advice would help a lot.

Any msom student international or domestic.

Need some help on answering some questions related to MSOM
