Residency re-classification cannot be retroactive to a previous term.

Military - If you are a member of the military or a dependent of military personnel, we need copies of orders showing the assignment to a US military base within the state or orders showing that your original Home of Record was Missouri.

International Students - If you are a non-citizen of the US, we are unable to change your residency unless you have your permanent resident card (green card) or have been issued a resident number from the Immigration/Naturalization Service or your Visa status is A, G, or L. (Please note: education may not be government funded.)  If you have one of these items, proceed to the section below that applies to you for additional documentation that is needed.
