International Students
To qualify as a North Dakota resident, international students who are not refugees must have an Alien Registration Receipt Card (Green Card) proving permanent residence or immigrant status and must meet all other North Dakota residency requirements for tuition purposes.
Refugees holding I-94 visa bearing endorsement by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and showing they have been paroled indefinitely, or have been granted indefinite voluntary departure or conditional entry, shall be treated as resident of the United States when applying for North Dakota residency for tuition purposes. In all other aspects they must meet the requirements of the North Dakota law dealing with residency for tuition purposes (North Dakota Century Code 15-10-19) just like citizens of the United States who live outside North Dakota. Time spent in North Dakota prior to being granted I-94 status shall not be counted towards the one-year requirement for residency status for in-state tuition (North Dakota Century Code 15-10-19).
