[Oacrao-l] Citizenship Questions on Application for Admission

[Horinek, Jon B.]

Colleagues,

I am looking to establish the general practice for students to indicate citizenship on applications for admission. These are Admission questions only and are not related to in-state residency decisions.

Question 1: How specific are your citizenship and/or country of birth questions on your application for admission. Do you simply ask a "Yes/No" in regards to citizenship or to you have follow-up questions?
Question 2: If students are not citizens what documents and/or information do you require (if any) prior to admission?

Examples:

A: Student indicates that she was born in Japan but is a naturalized citizen.
                Do you require additional documentation for admission?
B: Student indicates that they are not a citizen of the United States.
                What additional documents do you require?
C: Student is a Lawful Permanent Resident.
                Do you require a copy of the LPR card? Do you apply any future holds.

Thanks in advance.
