Part III. Determination of Residency
3.1 Proof of Residency
a) Each case will be decided on the basis of all facts submitted with qualitative
rather than quantitative emphasis. A number of factors is required for residency
to determine the intention of the person to maintain permanent residence in
Massachusetts. No single index is decisive. The burden of proof rests on the
student seeking classification as a Massachusetts resident.
b) The following shall be primary indicia of residency:
1) For unemancipated persons, the residency of parents, having custody,
within Massachusetts;
2) Certified copies of federal and state income tax returns;
3) Permanent employment in a position not normally filled by a student;
4) Reliance on Massachusetts sources for financial support;
5) Former residency in Massachusetts and maintenance of significant
connections there while absent.
c) The following shall be secondary indicia of residency, to be considered of less
weight than the indicia listed above in subsection b):
1) Continuous physical presence in Massachusetts during periods when not
an enrolled student;
2) Military home of record;
3) All other material of whatever kind or source which may have a bearing on
determining residency.
