Pursuant to s. 38.22 (4), Stats., the Technical College System Board shall establish procedures to determine the residence of students attending district schools.

2009 Wisconsin Act 28 and s. 38.22 (6), Stats.

The 2009-11 state budget bill, 2009 Wisconsin Act 28, added new state residency provisions for tuition purposes for persons who are not residents of the state, but who are enrolled in a technical college district and who meet three eligibility requirements: they graduated from a Wisconsin high school or received a Wisconsin HSED; they have been continuously present in the state for the three years following their enrollment in a Wisconsin high school or preceding receipt of a Wisconsin HSED; and upon enrollment in a technical college, they demonstrate proof of filing (or intent to file) for a permanent U.S. resident visa as soon as they are eligible. In addition, previous legislation added s. 38.22 (6) (f) relating to the residency status for tuition purposes for certain veterans, which was never codified into administrative rule.
