BOARD
OF REGENTS' DECISION On January 20, 2004, the Board of Regents unanimously approved an amendment that would bring its residency requirements in line with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 396.540). Nevada law states that individuals whose families (defined as natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian) reside in Nevada may gain resident status if the family has established bona fide residency in Nevada at the date of the student's matriculation. Individuals whose families live outside of the state may gain resident status if the individual has been a bona fide resident of the state of Nevada at least six months prior to matriculation. On March 19, 2004, the Board approved a plan to extend the corrected residency provisions to students whose first matriculation occurred during the period Fall Semester 1995 through Spring Semester 2004 and who would have met the requirements for establishing bona fide residency in the state of Nevada prior to their matriculation.
