Hi Amy,
I attached a copy of the guidance from OCHE this past year. Refugees have the ability to gain residency, however they have to meet the BOR 940.1 as written.
Non-U.S. Citizens with visa or other classifications that provide them the ability to reside
permanently in the United States are eligible to acquire in-state status for higher education
purposes under Board of Regents' Policy 940.1. In order to be classified in an in-state status,
these individuals must also conform to the procedures set forth in Board of Regents' Policy
940.1 in establishing their intent to become a resident of Montana. In other words, the ability
to remain permanently in the U.S. is a necessary prerequisite to obtaining in-state status, but it
is insufficient standing alone to obtain in-state status.
We have had quite a few questions from visa holders this year.

Good afternoon!
Our campus could possibly have Ukrainian Refugees apply for our spring term and we had a question about what residency status they would receive for tuition. Any information, suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!
Have a great afternoon!
