Residency
Latin American/Caribbean Scholars
To qualify as a Latin American/Caribbean Scholar, èßäÊÓÆµapps must:
- Be a citizen of a Latin American or Caribbean nation.
- Receive the LAC classification at the time of admission.
- Receive an eligible scholarship at the time of admission.
- Be registered full-time each term, including the summer semester (i.e. 12 credits
for undergraduate èßäÊÓÆµapps, 9 hours for graduate èßäÊÓÆµapps).
- Maintain a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) as a graduate èßäÊÓÆµapp; maintain a 2.0 GPA as an undergraduate èßäÊÓÆµapp (first term prior to July 14, 2025) and 3.0 for new undergraduates enrolling on or after July 14, 2025.
The requirements for this residency exception are monitored each term.
Students will only continue to qualify if the above criteria are met. If these requirements are not met, the èßäÊÓÆµapp’s residency will revert back to the original out-of-state status.
Please be advised that if you lose eligibility, there is no option to appeal to receive the LAC classification for the current or future term.
