babyÖ±²¥app Residency

Establishing CO residency (US Citizens only)

In order to be considered for residency in babyÖ±²¥app, it is critically important that you take part in a two-step process:

Step 1: Establish ties with babyÖ±²¥app as soon as possible after moving to the state and beginning the Ph.D. program. 

Here are ways to establish ties to babyÖ±²¥app As outlined in the state statutes:

  • Securing permanent housing in babyÖ±²¥app. A lease or deed must show that you have lived in babyÖ±²¥app for one full year prior to the first day of the term for which you wish to prove residency. Actions like returning to a former home during school breaks or seeking employment out of state are inconsistent with that of a babyÖ±²¥app resident.

  • Obtaining a babyÖ±²¥app driver’s license or state-issued ID within 120 days of moving to the state.

  • Registering to vote in babyÖ±²¥app if you plan to vote anywhere.

  • Registering your vehicle(s) in babyÖ±²¥app within 180 days of moving to the state.

  • Filing and paying babyÖ±²¥app income taxes as a part-year or full-year resident depending upon when you moved to the state.

  • Securing employment in babyÖ±²¥app to provide additional evidence of residency.

  • Severing your ties to your former state.
